Streamflow data analysis for flood detection using persistent homology

Flooding is an environmental hazard that occurs almost everywhere around the world. Analysis of streamflow data can give us important climatic information for flooding events. Persistent homology (PH), a new analysis tool in topological data analysis (TDA) offers a new way to look at the informati...
