The vertex ratio is the crucial quantity in vertex analysis, which is a method to characterize the mode of growth of neuronal tree structures (i.e. dendrites and axons). In this report we propose the use of the Monte Carlo test to calculate a level of significance for the vertex ratio. As a result the vertex ratio can be used to analyse neuronal trees with respect to a range of growth hypotheses, including terminal and segmental growth.
顶点比率是顶点分析中的关键量，顶点分析是一种表征神经元树状结构（即树突和轴突）生长模式的方法。在本报告中，我们建议使用蒙特卡洛检验来计算顶点比率的显著性水平。因此，顶点比率可用于根据一系列生长假设分析神经元树，包括终端生长和节段生长。
