Abstrak

Topological Data Analysis Ball Mapper (TDABM) offers a model-free visualization of multivariate data which does not necessitate the information loss associated with dimensionality reduction. TDABM Dlotko (2019) produces a cover of a multidimensional point cloud using equal size balls, the radius of the ball is the only parameter. A TDABM visualization retains the full structure of the data. The graphs produced by TDABM can convey coloration according to further variables, model residuals, or variables within the multivariate data. An expanding literature makes use of the power of TDABM across Finance, Economics, Geography, Medicine and Chemistry amongst others. We provide an introduction to TDABM and the \texttt{ballmapper} package for Stata.
