N. Blaser, M. Brun (2019). Sparse Nerves in Practice

This package is tested with python 3.6.

In order to use it you must install the miniball package. In addition you need to install gudhi. We recomend you do this in a new anaconda environment as shown below.

To install the latest version of this python library:

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install git+https://github.com/weddige/miniball
conda install -c conda-forge gudhi 
pip install git+https://github.com/mbr085/Sparse-Dowker-Nerves
