Compares two sets of niche/ROI detection results using Venn diagrams and distance analysis. Identifies overlapping spots and calculates distances between niche centers.

Usage

CompareNiche(STID_obj = NULL, meta_key1 = NULL, meta_key2 = NULL, bins = 15)

Arguments

STID_obj

An STID object containing niche detection results

meta_key1

Character, first metadata key for comparison

meta_key2

Character, second metadata key for comparison

bins

Integer, number of bins for distance distribution plots (default: 15)

Value

NULL (invisible), generates plots and prints comparison statistics

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Compare two niche detection methods
CompareNiche(
  STID_obj = ist_object,
  meta_key1 = "M2_NicheDetect_Lasso_20240101",
  meta_key2 = "M2_NicheDetect_STS_20240101"
)
} # }
