Equivalent of CaImAn-MATLAB field "Df"?

[mitlabence]

Hey everyone,
I am in the process of porting ancient Matlab code that uses CaImAn-MATLAB to python. In this code, I came across the field/attribute Df being used to normalize C (temporal components) for each detected cell (I believe this is equivalent to the C_df field in the old CaImAn). I thought F_dff is the modern alternative to this normalization, but it seems like the latter uses the deconvolved signal, while the former C/Df uses the temporal component. Did I miss something? Is there an alternative to Df that I can use to normalize the temporal components?
Thank you for your help!

Egads I would recommend you just start using Caiman, which has been steadily being updated with debugging etc over the years and offers support etc, rather than rewrite your old Matlab code in Python (Caiman is basically that Caiman-Matlab rewritten in Python, incidentally 😄 ).

But if you insist:

CaImAn/caiman/source_extraction/cnmf/utilities.py

Line 442 in c873b03

def detrend_df_f(A, b, C, f, YrA=None, quantileMin=8, frames_window=500,

You will find the Df you are after in there, if you must. 😨 This is the background normalizing term in the denominator Caiman uses for dff calculation. Good luck.
