tdads 0.1.0

Data science for topological data analysis

tdads

Data science (ds) for topological data analysis (tda) (i.e. tdads = tda+ds).

Installation

$ pip install tdads

API

tdads has two major modules:

1. Machine learning. The classes diagram_mds and diagram_kpca and can be used to project a group of diagrams into a low dimensional space (i.e. dimension reduction).
2. Statistics. The permutation_test class can carry out ANOVA-like tests for identifying group differences of persistence diagrams. The diagram_bootstrap class can be used to identify statistically significant topological features in a dataset.

Usage

As an example we will

1. create 10 persistence diagrams from two distinct groups,
2. describe the significant topological features in each diagram,
3. resolve the two groups with MDS, and
4. capture the group difference using a permutation test.
