ripser 0.2.5

A Lean Persistent Homology Library for Python

Ripser

Ripser.py is a renovated Python implementation of the Ripser package. We provide a slim interface for computing persistence cohomology of sparse and dense data sets, visualizing persistence diagrams, computing lowerstar filtrations on images, and computing representative cochains.

To aid your use of the package, we've put together a large set of notebooks that demonstrate many of the features available. Complete documentation about the package can be found at ripser.scikit-tda.org.

Through extensive testing and continuous integration, Ripser.py is easy to install on Mac, Linux, and Windows platforms.

If you're looking for the original C++ library, you can find it at Ripser/ripser.

Setup

Installation requires Cython, but other than that, it is available on all platforms (if you are having trouble installing, please let us know!)

pip install Cython
pip install Ripser

Usage

The interface is as simple as can be:

import numpy as np
from ripser import ripser, plot_dgms

data = np.random.random((100,2))
diagrams = ripser(data)['dgms']
plot_dgms(diagrams)

We also supply a Scikit-learn transformer style object if you would prefer to use that:

import numpy as np
from ripser import Rips

rips = Rips()
data = np.random.random((100,2))
diagrams = rips.fit_transform(data)['dgms']
rips.plot(diagrams)
