DTM-based Filtrations

Abstract

Despite strong stability properties, the persistent homology of filtrations classically used in Topological Data Analysis, such as, e.g. the Cech or Vietoris-Rips filtrations, are very sensitive to the presence of outliers in the data from which they are computed. In this paper, we introduce and study a new family of filtrations, the DTM-filtrations, built on top of point clouds in the Euclidean space which are more robust to noise and outliers. The approach adopted in this work relies on the notion of distance-to-measure functions, and extends some previous work on the approximation of such functions.
