In this work, we develop a statistical approach to this problem by calculating the expected rank of an induced map on homology from a sub-sample to the full space. We develop a greedy matroid algorithm for finding an optimal basis for the image of the induced map, and investigate the relationship between this algorithm and the probability of sampling vectors in the image of the induced map.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.01796v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.01796v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"greedy-matroid-algorithm-and-computational","repo_url":"https://github.com/tianyisuntt/sampling","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
