Abstract

En 中文
We address the problem of estimating multiple modes of a multivariate density using persistent homology, a central tool in Topological Data Analysis. We introduce a method based on the preliminary estimation of the H0-persistence diagram to infer the number of modes, their locations, and the corresponding local maxima. For broad classes of piecewise-continuous functions with geometric control on discontinuity loci, we identify a critical separation threshold between modes, equiv-alently interpretable in our framework in terms of modes' prominence, below which modes inference is impossible and above which our procedure achieves minimax optimal rates.
