Persistent homology is a method for probing topological properties of point clouds and functions. The method involves tracking the birth and death of topological features (2000) as one varies a tuning parameter. Features with short lifetimes are informally considered to be "topological noise," and those with a long lifetime are considered to be "topological signal." In this paper, we bring some statistical ideas to persistent homology. In particular, we derive confidence sets that allow us to separate topological signal from topological noise.

    stat.ML 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    STRAND treats persistence diagrams as survival data to derive a calibrated two-sample test, interpretable effect sizes, and a 1-Wasserstein-stable feature vector from one representation.

    cs.LG 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Out-of-distribution images show longer average H0 persistence lifetimes in a ResNet18 embedding layer than in-distribution training and test images.
