About This Event

“Topological Data Analysis of Spatial Systems”

Abstract

I will discuss topological data analysis (TDA), which uses ideas from topology to quantify the "shape" of data. I will focus in particular on persistent homology (PH), which one can use to find "holes" of different dimensions in data sets. I will briefly introduce these ideas and then discuss a series of examples of TDA of spatial systems. The examples that I'll discuss include voting data, the locations of polling sites, and the webs of spiders under the influence of various drugs.
