Kepler Mapper: A flexible Python implementation of the Mapper algorithm.

Abstract

Topological data analysis (TDA) is a field of analysis focused on understanding the shape and structure of complex data. By computing topological descriptors of data, such as connected components, loops, and voids, we are better able to find hidden relationships among noisy and high-dimensionality data However, raw TDA metrics cannot be readily visualized. To address this gap, Singh et al. ( The work of Lum et al. (2013) sparked widespread interest in the Mapper technique by demonstrating its use in multiple domains, including political science, biology, and sports analytics.
