The Colocalization Finder plugin allows for selection part of scatterplot for subsequent measurement of correlations.
This means that we are using a display that shows correlation to select which pixels to use in a correlation measurement - somewhat self referential.
To test the plugin I generated two uncorrelated images
newImage("Untitled", "8-bit noise", 256, 256, 2);// Gaussian distributions
and the split them, before running the plugin.
1) Using the whole image produces a sensible Pearson correlation - around zero.
2) Adjusting the ROI to select the upper right quadrant produces a correlation near 1.00 -
A near perfect positive correlation.
3) Selecting the lower right quadrant also produces a near perfect positive correlation
2) and 3) cannot be correct, a perfect positive correlation in a scatterplot should appear as a diagonal line going thru the origin.
is the Pearson's_Rr shown in the results table the normal Pearson correlation ?
presumably I am missing something important, but what ?

Subject: Re: Colocalization with Coloc2
Dear David,
I would rather recommend you to use the Colocalization Finder plugin:
https://imagejdocu.tudor.lu/plugin/analysis/colocalizationfinder/startfor which I took over the maintenance.
The plugin can be applied for whatever bit depth picture (i.e. 8, 16 or 32 Bit picture) and able you to define "on the fly" an analysis ROI (i.e. within the scatterPlot picture) as well as within the composite picture.
The calculations are generated (inside a results window) when you click inside a ROI (i.e. within the scatterPlot or composite picture) and you can as well set a ROI selection with a double click inside a ROI.
Nevertheless, the plugin has only be written for the analysis of two single pictures as start conditions (i.e. not for a stack).
But the code is very easily scriptable for stacks and you can find two example macros within the website link I indicted higher.
The only drawback of the tool is maybe the lack of a good "biologist compatible" description (sorry I'm only a physicist) of it's features for which I'm waiting for some "biologist colleagues" to write it and you are as well welcome to do so if you wish.
Feel free to contact me if you have any issues with this tool or ideas for improving it.
My best regards,
Philippe

Objet: Colocalization with Coloc2
I was trying to use the Coloc2 in Fiji and the colocsample data provided in the cookbook. (
https://imagej.net/Colocalization_Analysis) to instruct my microscopy students. I have not done much of this myself so wanted to understand the software before teaching it.
I was unable to generate any useful data. I got all kinds of warnings when I ran it with the stacks or a single slice from the stacks even though the dataset was clearly colocalized.
1. I tried to use a freehand ROI to focus on the membrane edge of the cell, but it did not seem to be used or make any difference. The image shown in the results was always the entire image and nothing seemed to indictate it was working with just the ROI
2. I tried subtracting background (around 60) from the images so only real data was analyzed and still got lots of warnings.
3. The results scatterplots seemed meaningless. In no case did it show the high degree of colocalization of the two probes in the sample data.
4. I am not sure how to generate the useful dot scatterplots of the sort shown in Dunn et al. from this analysis.
5. With the stacks, I expected a slice by slice analysis. The image shown in the results seemed to be only the first slice.
6. I was never able to see an image with the colocalized pixels found by the analysis highlighted.
It would be really useful to someone doing this for the first time if that page were updated with a complete astep by step nalysis of that sample data. Settings, results, etc. with different inputs (ROI, noise reduction, stacks vs. slices etc.). so all the complexities are clarified. Is that available somewhere? Thanks- Dave
