Flat persistence diagrams to visualize persistent homology

Raoul R. Wadhwa, Andrew Dhawan, Drew F. K. Williamson, Jacob G. Scott

Purpose

Make up for deficiencies in conventional persistence diagrams to more effectively visualize persistent homology as part of topological data analysis.

Reproduce figures

The figures from the arXiv preprint can be automatically and exactly reproduced by running the following on Terminal:

git clone https://github.com/rrrlw/visual-tda
cd visual-tda
Rscript figs-example.R

The following software is necessary to successfully run the code in this repository:

• Git
• R programming language (>= 3.5)
• TDAstats R pacakge (CRAN version >= 0.5 or development version)
