In order to use persistence diagrams as a true statistical tool, it would be very useful to have a good notion of mean and variance for a set of diagrams. In 2011, Mileyko and his collaborators made the first study of the properties of the Frechet mean in $(mathcal{D}_p,W_p)$, the space of persistence diagrams equipped with the p-th Wasserstein metric. In particular, they showed that the Frechet mean of a finite set of diagrams always exists, but is not necessarily unique. The means of a continuously-varying set of diagrams do not themselves (necessarily) vary continuously, which presents obvious problems when trying to extend the Frechet mean definition to the realm of vineyards. We fix this problem by altering the original definition of Frechet mean so that it now becomes a probability measure on the set of persistence diagrams; in a nutshell, the mean of a set of diagrams will be a weighted sum of atomic measures, where each atom is itself a persistence diagram determined using a perturbation of the input diagrams. This definition gives for each $N$ a map $(mathcal{D}_p)^N to mathbb{P}(mathcal{D}_p)$. We show that this map is Holder continuous on finite diagrams and thus can be used to build a useful statistic on time-varying persistence diagrams, better known as vineyards.

For $1 le p < infty$, the Frechet $p$-mean of a probability distribution $mu$ on a metric space $(X,d)$ is the set $F_p(mu) := {arg,min}_{xin X}int_{X}d^p(x,y), dmu(y)$, which is taken to be empty if no minimizer exists. Given a sequence $(Y_i)_{i in
mathbb{N}}$ of independent, identically distributed random samples from some probability measure $mu$ on $X$, the Frechet $p$-means of the empirical measures, $F_p(frac{1}{n}sum_{i=1}^{n}delta_{Y_i})$ form a sequence of random closed subsets of $X$. We investigate the senses in which this sequence of random closed sets and related objects converge almost surely as $n to infty$.
This paper presents an efficient algorithm for the progressive approximation of Wasserstein barycenters of persistence diagrams, with applications to the visual analysis of ensemble data. Given a set of scalar fields, our approach enables the computa
tion of a persistence diagram which is representative of the set, and which visually conveys the number, data ranges and saliences of the main features of interest found in the set. Such representative diagrams are obtained by computing explicitly the discrete Wasserstein barycenter of the set of persistence diagrams, a notoriously computationally intensive task. In particular, we revisit efficient algorithms for Wasserstein distance approximation [12,51] to extend previous work on barycenter estimation [94]. We present a new fast algorithm, which progressively approximates the barycenter by iteratively increasing the computation accuracy as well as the number of persistent features in the output diagram. Such a progressivity drastically improves convergence in practice and allows to design an interruptible algorithm, capable of respecting computation time constraints. This enables the approximation of Wasserstein barycenters within interactive times. We present an application to ensemble clustering where we revisit the k-means algorithm to exploit our barycenters and compute, within execution time constraints, meaningful clusters of ensemble data along with their barycenter diagram. Extensive experiments on synthetic and real-life data sets report that our algorithm converges to barycenters that are qualitatively meaningful with regard to the applications, and quantitatively comparable to previous techniques, while offering an order of magnitude speedup when run until convergence (without time constraint). Our algorithm can be trivially parallelized to provide additional speedups in practice on standard workstations. [...]
The extended persistence diagram is an invariant of piecewise linear functions, introduced by Cohen-Steiner, Edelsbrunner, and Harer. The bottleneck distance has been introduced by the same authors as an extended pseudometric on the set of extended p
ersistence diagrams, which is stable under perturbations of the function. We address the question whether the bottleneck distance is the largest possible stable distance, providing an affirmative answer.
This paper presents an algorithm for the efficient approximation of the saddle-extremum persistence diagram of a scalar field. Vidal et al. introduced recently a fast algorithm for such an approximation (by interrupting a progressive computation fram
ework). However, no theoretical guarantee was provided regarding its approximation quality. In this work, we revisit the progressive framework of Vidal et al. and we introduce in contrast a novel approximation algorithm, with a user controlled approximation error, specifically, on the Bottleneck distance to the exact solution. Our approach is based on a hierarchical representation of the input data, and relies on local simplifications of the scalar field to accelerate the computation, while maintaining a controlled bound on the output error. The locality of our approach enables further speedups thanks to shared memory parallelism. Experiments conducted on real life datasets show that for a mild error tolerance (5% relative Bottleneck distance), our approach improves runtime performance by 18% on average (and up to 48% on large, noisy datasets) in comparison to standard, exact, publicly available implementations. In addition to the strong guarantees on its approximation error, we show that our algorithm also provides in practice outputs which are on average 5 times more accurate (in terms of the L2-Wasserstein distance) than a naive approximation baseline. We illustrate the utility of our approach for interactive data exploration and we document visualization strategies for conveying the uncertainty related to our approximations.
Multivector fields provide an avenue for studying continuous dynamical systems in a combinatorial framework. There are currently two approaches in the literature which use persistent homology to capture changes in combinatorial dynamical systems. The
first captures changes in the Conley index, while the second captures changes in the Morse decomposition. However, such approaches have limitations. The former approach only describes how the Conley index changes across a selected isolated invariant set though the dynamics can be much more complicated than the behavior of a single isolated invariant set. Likewise, considering a Morse decomposition omits much information about the individual Morse sets. In this paper, we propose a method to summarize changes in combinatorial dynamical systems by capturing changes in the so-called Conley-Morse graphs. A Conley-Morse graph contains information about both the structure of a selected Morse decomposition and about the Conley index at each Morse set in the decomposition. Hence, our method summarizes the changing structure of a sequence of dynamical systems at a finer granularity than previous approaches.
