Rivet

Abstract

1. Introduction

Program for the visualization and analysis of two-parameter persistent homology.

2. Objective

RIVET is a tool for Topological Data Analysis, in particular two-parameter persistent homology.

This project demonstrates how C++ can be applied to a real-world Data Science problem.

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

1. What is the source of the dataset and how was missing data handled?
2. Which exploratory analysis steps revealed the most useful insight?
3. Why were these particular charts chosen to present the data?
4. Which statistical or ML technique supports the conclusions?
5. How could the analysis be automated or refreshed with new data?
