Identifying homogeneous subgroups of patients and important features: a topological machine learning approach

Abstract Background This paper exploits recent developments in topological data analysis to present a pipeline for clustering based on Mapper, an algorithm that reduces complex data into a one-dimensional graph. Results We present a pipeline to identify and summarise clusters based on statistically...
