Layers and stability
Abstract: The hierarchy associated to clusters in the HDBSCAN algorithm has layers, which are defined by cardinality. The layers define a layer subposet of the HDBSCAN hierarchy, which is a strong deformation retract and admits a stability analysis. That stability analysis is introduced here. Cardinality arguments lead to sharper results for layers than one sees for stability statements for branch points.
