This work discusses computational problems related to the implementation of Victor and Purpura’s spike time distance metric for point processes. Three algorithms for calculation of spike-time distance are examined as are a number of properties and extensions of the spike-time metric. Extensions include prototype point patterns that can be used for describing a typical point pattern and various clustering algorithms that can be applied to point process data through use of spike-time distance and prototype patterns.
