Comparison of results obtained from different quality and severity scores

Determine how to compare or decide between qualitatively different results produced by alternative resource-quality or nuisance-severity measures in the multiparameter persistent-homology framework.

Background

The framework permits the use of any desired measure of resource quality or nuisance severity. The paper illustrates this flexibility with park acreage and alternative Google Reviews-based scores for bars and pubs, but different score definitions can yield qualitatively different conclusions about access or exposure. The authors explicitly leave unresolved how such competing results should be compared or selected between.
