Results
Here, we describe how the Rényi divergence can be used for cluster radius measurements in localization microscopy data. We demonstrate that the Rényi divergence can operate with high levels of background and provides results which are more accurate than Ripley's functions, Voronoi tesselation or DBSCAN.
