VietorisRipsPersistence¶

class gtda.homology.VietorisRipsPersistence(metric='euclidean', homology_dimensions=0, 1, coeff=2, max_edge_length=inf, infinity_values=None, n_jobs=None)[source]¶

Persistence diagrams resulting from Vietoris–Rips filtrations.

Given a point cloud in Euclidean space, or an abstract metric space encoded by a distance matrix, information about the appearance and disappearance of topological features (technically, homology classes) of various dimension and at different scales is summarised in the corresponding persistence diagram.

Parameters

metric (string or callable, optional, default: 'euclidean') – If set to 'precomputed', input data is to be interpreted as a collection of distance matrices or of adjacency matrices of weighted undirected graphs. Otherwise, input data is to be interpreted as a collection of point clouds (i.e. feature arrays), and metric determines a rule with which to calculate distances between pairs of points (i.e. row vectors). If metric is a string, it must be one of the options allowed by scipy.spatial.distance.pdist for its metric parameter, or a metric listed in sklearn.pairwise.PAIRWISE_DISTANCE_FUNCTIONS, including 'euclidean', 'manhattan' or 'cosine'. If metric is a callable, it should take pairs of vectors (1D arrays) as input and, for each two vectors in a pair, it should return a scalar indicating the distance/dissimilarity between them.
homology_dimensions (list or tuple, optional, default: (0, 1)) – Dimensions (non-negative integers) of the topological features to be detected.
coeff (int prime, optional, default: 2) – Compute homology with coefficients in the prime field \(\mathbb{F}_p = \{ 0, \ldots, p - 1 \}\) where \(p\) equals coeff.
max_edge_length (float, optional, default: numpy.inf) – Upper bound on the maximum value of the Vietoris–Rips filtration parameter. Points whose distance is greater than this value will never be connected by an edge, and topological features at scales larger than this value will not be detected.
infinity_values (float or None, default: None) – Which death value to assign to features which are still alive at filtration value max_edge_length. None means that this death value is declared to be equal to max_edge_length.
n_jobs (int or None, optional, default: None) – The number of jobs to use for the computation. None means 1 unless in a joblib.parallel_backend context. -1 means using all processors.

infinity_values\_

Effective death value to assign to features which are still alive at filtration value max_edge_length.

Type: float

Notes

Ripser is used as a C++ backend for computing Vietoris–Rips persistent homology. Python bindings were modified for performance from the ripser.py package.

Persistence diagrams produced by this class must be interpreted with care due to the presence of padding triples which carry no information. See transform for additional information.

__init__(metric='euclidean', homology_dimensions=0, 1, coeff=2, max_edge_length=inf, infinity_values=None, n_jobs=None)[source]¶: Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

fit(X, y=None)[source]¶

Calculate infinity_values_. Then, return the estimator.

This method is here to implement the usual scikit-learn API and hence work in pipelines.

Parameters

X (ndarray or list) – Input data representing a collection of point clouds if metric was not set to 'precomputed', and of distance matrices or adjacency matrices of weighted undirected graphs otherwise. Can be either a 3D ndarray whose zeroth dimension has size n_samples, or a list containing n_samples 2D ndarrays. If metric was set to 'precomputed', each entry of X must be a square array and should be compatible with a filtration, i.e. the value at index (i, j) should be no smaller than the values at diagonal indices (i, i) and (j, j).
y (None) – There is no need for a target in a transformer, yet the pipeline API requires this parameter.

Returns

self

Return type

object

fit_transform(X, y=None, **fit_params)¶

Fit to data, then transform it.

Fits transformer to X and y with optional parameters fit_params and returns a transformed version of X.

Parameters

X (ndarray or list) – Input data representing a collection of point clouds if metric was not set to 'precomputed', and of distance matrices or adjacency matrices of weighted undirected graphs otherwise. Can be either a 3D ndarray whose zeroth dimension has size n_samples, or a list containing n_samples 2D ndarrays. If metric was set to 'precomputed', each entry of X must be a square array and should be compatible with a filtration, i.e. the value at index (i, j) should be no smaller than the values at diagonal indices (i, i) and (j, j).
y (None) – There is no need for a target in a transformer, yet the pipeline API requires this parameter.

Returns

Xt – Array of persistence diagrams computed from the feature arrays or distance matrices in X. n_features equals \(\sum_q n_q\), where \(n_q\) is the maximum number of topological features in dimension \(q\) across all samples in X.

Return type

ndarray of shape (n_samples, n_features, 3)

fit_transform_plot(X, y=None, sample=0, **plot_params)¶

Fit to data, then apply transform_plot.

Parameters

X (ndarray of shape (n_samples, ..)) – Input data.
y (ndarray of shape (n_samples,) or None) – Target values for supervised problems.
sample (int) – Sample to be plotted.
**plot_params – Optional plotting parameters.

Returns

Xt – Transformed one-sample slice from the input.

Return type

ndarray of shape (1, ..)

get_params(deep=True)¶

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters: deep (bool, default=True) – If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.
Returns: params – Parameter names mapped to their values.
Return type: mapping of string to any

static plot(Xt, sample=0, homology_dimensions=None)[source]¶

Plot a sample from a collection of persistence diagrams, with homology in multiple dimensions.

Parameters

Xt (ndarray of shape (n_samples, n_points, 3)) – Collection of persistence diagrams, such as returned by transform.
sample (int, optional, default: 0) – Index of the sample in Xt to be plotted.
homology_dimensions (list, tuple or None, optional, default: None) – Which homology dimensions to include in the plot. None means plotting all dimensions present in Xt[sample].

set_params(**params)¶

Set the parameters of this estimator.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as pipelines). The latter have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Parameters: **params (dict) – Estimator parameters.
Returns: self – Estimator instance.
Return type: object

transform(X, y=None)[source]¶

For each point cloud or distance matrix in X, compute the relevant persistence diagram as an array of triples [b, d, q]. Each triple represents a persistent topological feature in dimension q (belonging to homology_dimensions) which is born at b and dies at d. Only triples in which b < d are meaningful. Triples in which b and d are equal (“diagonal elements”) may be artificially introduced during the computation for padding purposes, since the number of non-trivial persistent topological features is typically not constant across samples. They carry no information and hence should be effectively ignored by any further computation.

Parameters

X (ndarray or list) – Input data representing a collection of point clouds if metric was not set to 'precomputed', and of distance matrices or adjacency matrices of weighted undirected graphs otherwise. Can be either a 3D ndarray whose zeroth dimension has size n_samples, or a list containing n_samples 2D ndarrays. If metric was set to 'precomputed', each entry of X must be a square array and should be compatible with a filtration, i.e. the value at index (i, j) should be no smaller than the values at diagonal indices (i, i) and (j, j).
y (None) – There is no need for a target in a transformer, yet the pipeline API requires this parameter.

Returns

Xt – Array of persistence diagrams computed from the feature arrays or distance matrices in X. n_features equals \(\sum_q n_q\), where \(n_q\) is the maximum number of topological features in dimension \(q\) across all samples in X.

Return type

ndarray of shape (n_samples, n_features, 3)

transform_plot(X, sample=0, **plot_params)¶

Take a one-sample slice from the input collection and transform it. Before returning the transformed object, plot the transformed sample.

Parameters

X (ndarray of shape (n_samples, ..)) – Input data.
sample (int) – Sample to be plotted.
plot_params (dict) – Optional plotting parameters.

Returns

Xt – Transformed one-sample slice from the input.

Return type

ndarray of shape (1, ..)
