Topological Data Analysis

Topological Data Analysis (TDA) is a method that studies the shape and structure of data using concepts from topology, a branch of mathematics concerned with spatial properties. TDA helps to identify patterns and features in complex datasets by transforming them into a higher-dimensional space and analyzing their form, like finding holes or clusters. This approach can reveal insights that traditional statistical methods might miss, making TDA valuable in fields such as biology, neuroscience, and machine learning, where understanding the relationships and features within data is crucial.
