We describe the use of the Frechet mean and variance in the Billera-Holmes-Vogtmann (BHV) treespace to summarize and explore the diversity of a set of phylogenetic trees. We show that the Frechet mean is comparable to other summary methods,…
Persistence diagrams play a fundamental role in Topological Data Analysis where they are used as topological descriptors of filtrations built on top of data. They consist in discrete multisets of points in the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ that can…
One of the primary areas of interest in applied algebraic topology is persistent homology, and, more specifically, the persistence diagram. Persistence diagrams have also become objects of interest in topological data analysis. However,…
Recently many efforts have been made to incorporate persistence diagrams, one of the major tools in topological data analysis (TDA), into machine learning pipelines. To better understand the power and limitation of persistence diagrams, we…
Given a persistence diagram with $n$ points, we give an algorithm that produces a sequence of $n$ persistence diagrams converging in bottleneck distance to the input diagram, the $i$th of which has $i$ distinct (weighted) points and is a…
The Frechet mean or barycenter generalizes the idea of averaging in spaces where pairwise addition is not well-defined. In general metric spaces, the Frechet sample mean is not a consistent estimator of the theoretical Frechet mean. For…
This paper presents a generalization of the Wasserstein distance for both persistence diagrams and merge trees [20], [66] that takes advantage of the regions of their topological features in the input domain. Specifically, we redefine the…
Samples of phylogenetic trees arise in a variety of evolutionary and biomedical applications, and the Fr\'echet mean in Billera-Holmes-Vogtmann tree space is a summary tree shown to have advantages over other mean or consensus trees.…
Persistence diagrams are two-dimensional plots that summarize the topological features of functions and are an important part of topological data analysis. A problem that has received much attention is how deal with sets of persistence…
A new class of statistical deformable models is introduced to study high-dimensional curves or images. In addition to the standard measurement error term, these deformable models include an extra error term modeling the individual…
We introduce persistence spheres, a novel functional representation of persistence diagrams. Unlike existing embeddings (such as persistence images, landscapes, or kernel methods), persistence spheres provide a bi-continuous mapping: they…
This paper is a short summary of our recent work on the medians and means of probability measures in Riemannian manifolds. Firstly, the existence and uniqueness results of local medians are given. In order to compute medians in practical…
Persistence diagrams offer a way to summarize topological and geometric properties latent in datasets. While several methods have been developed that utilize persistence diagrams in statistical inference, a full Bayesian treatment remains…
Persistent homology is a widely used tool in Topological Data Analysis that encodes multiscale topological information as a multi-set of points in the plane called a persistence diagram. It is difficult to apply statistical theory directly…
The consistency of Fr\'echet medians is proved for probability measures in proper metric spaces. In the context of Riemannian manifolds, assuming that the probability measure has more than a half mass lying in a convex ball and verifies…
Persistence diagrams are objects that play a central role in topological data analysis. In the present article, we investigate the local and global geometric properties of spaces of persistence diagrams. In order to do this, we construct a…
Paths of persistence diagrams provide a summary of the dynamic topological structure of a one-parameter family of metric spaces. These summaries can be used to study and characterize the dynamic shape of data such as swarming behavior in…
Motivated by persistent homology and topological data analysis, we consider formal sums on a metric space with a distinguished subset. These formal sums, which we call persistence diagrams, have a canonical 1-parameter family of metrics…
Fr\'echet means are a popular type of average for non-Euclidean datasets, defined as those points which minimise the average squared distance to a set of data points. We consider the behaviour of sample Fr\'echet means on normed spaces…
To characterize the location (mean, median) of a set of graphs, one needs a notion of centrality that is adapted to metric spaces, since graph sets are not Euclidean spaces. A standard approach is to consider the Fr\'echet mean. In this…
