<p>Results of the illustrative simulation study (cont’).</p>

Each panel is the result of 10 random network realizations and error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals. <b>B)</b> ROC performances for stimulus SNR = 10 dB. <b>C)</b> ROC performances for stimulus SNR = 5 dB. <b>D)</b> ROC performances with spiking model mismatch, where the data is generated by a Poisson point process, but inferred using a Bernoulli model. <b>B)</b> ROC performances for network sub-sampling (10 neurons randomly chosen out of a network of 50 neurons).

ROC analysis in panel A shows high sensitivity and specificity for all categories (FDR controlled) for our proposed method, whereas the 2p Data and Two-Stage PSTH suffer from poor hit rate and high false alarm rate (see the dashed ellipsoids for a visual guideline). While the performance of all methods degrades in panels B-E compared to the baseline, our proposed method exhibits more robustness, especially in detecting the GC and GS neurons.</p>
