Interpretibility of adata.uns['spatial_interaction']

[Dillon214]

Hello Scimap devs,

I have a question regarding scimap results obtained after running sm.pl.spatial_interaction. The results are confusing to me. I see some instances where z scores which should by all accounts be insignificant (such as -0.0, though I am unsure why it is negative) showing low p values. Can you shed some light on why this might occur? I expected high and low z scores to be the most significant, which would make sense for plotting purposes.

Sincerely,
Dillon Brownell

hi @Dillon214 are you referring low p-value as being > 0.05?
