Persistent homology is a multiscale method for analyzing the shape of sets and functions from point cloud data arising from an unknown distribution supported on those sets. When the size of the sample is large, direct computation of the…

Persistent homology is a fundamental tool in topological data analysis; however, it lacks methods to quantify the fragility or fineness of cycles, anticipate their formation or disappearance, or evaluate their stability beyond persistence.…
