We prove an equivalence between open questions about the embeddability of the space of persistence diagrams and the space of probability distributions (i.e.~Wasserstein space). It is known that for many natural metrics, no coarse embedding…

Reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces are uniquely characterized by their kernel, but reproducing kernel Banach spaces (RKBS) are not. However, a characterization of which RKBS admit a given kernel as reproducing kernel is lacking. This work…

We generalize the SiZer of Chaudhuri and Marron (J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 94 (1999) 807-823, Ann. Statist. 28 (2000) 408-428) for the detection of shape parameters of densities on the real line to the case of circular data. It turns out…

Kernel-based non-linear dimensionality reduction methods, such as Local Linear Embedding (LLE) and Laplacian Eigenmaps, rely heavily upon pairwise distances or similarity scores, with which one can construct and study a weighted graph…
