Event history and topological data analysis
事件史方法与拓扑数据分析
Summary Persistent homology is used to track the appearance and disappearance of features as we move through a nested sequence of topological spaces. Equating the nested sequence to a filtration and the appearance and disappearance of features to events, we show that simple event history methods can be used for the analysis of topological data. We propose a version of the well-known Nelson–Aalen cumulative hazard estimator for the comparison of topological features of random…
