Abstract

Topological Data Analysis (TDA), which refers to methods of utilizing topological

features in data (such as connected components, tunnels, voids, etc.) has gained considerable

momentum. More recently, TDA has been increasingly used for analyzing time

series. The recent researches of using TDA in time series are mainly focused on unsupervised

and supervised learning. In this thesis, a review of TDA will be provided,

following by using TDA in time series for doing unsupervised and supervised learning

for different applications.
