Exercise 1

Describe in words the correlation coefficient between two images.

Exercise 2

Discuss some of the dangers of "colocalization by eye." By this, I mean the typical activity of merging and green channel and a red channel, seeing yellow, and saying, "the molecules are colocalized."

Exercise 3

Discuss the connection between computation of the probability of colocalization with the hacker stats techniques we learned in the seventh week of the class.

Exercise 4

You read a paper and the authors report a Manders coefficient of 0.5. To assess this value, what other parameters of their image processing pipeline would you need to know?
