Statistical analysis of Mapper for stochastic and multivariate filters

Abstract

Reeb spaces, as well as their discretized versions called Mappers, are common descriptors used in topological data analysis, with plenty of applications in various fields of science, such as computational biology and data visualization, among others. The stability and quantification of the rate of convergence of the Mapper to the Reeb space has been studied a lot in recent works (Brown et al. in CoRR. arXiv:1909.03488, 2019; Carrière and Oudot in Found Comput Math 18(6):1333–1396, 2017; Carrière et al. in J Mach Learn Res 19(12):1–39, 2018; Munch and Wang in: 32nd international symposium on computational geometry (SoCG 2016), Schloss Dagstuhl–Leibniz-Zentrum fuer Informatik, 51: 53:1–53:16, 2016), focusing on the case where a scalar-valued filter is used for the computation of Mapper.
