Magnitude, obtained as a special case of Euler characteristic of enriched category, represents a sense of the size of metric spaces and is related to classical notions such as cardinality, dimension, and volume. While the studies have explained the meaning of magnitude from various perspectives, continuity also gives a valuable view of magnitude. Based on established results about continuity of magnitude and maximum diversity, this article focuses on continuity of weighting, a distribution whose totality is magnitude, and its variation corresponding to maximum diversity. Meanwhile, recent studies also illuminated the connection between magnitude and data analysis by applying magnitude theory to point clouds representing the data or the set of model parameters. This article will also provide an application for time series analysis by introducing a new kind of invariants of periodic time series, where the invariance follows directly from the continuity results. As a use-case, a simple machine learning experiment is conducted with real-world data, in which the  \nsuggested invariants improved the performance.  \n1. Introduction  \nThe magnitude of a metric space [24] is a real number quantifying a certain sense of size. Based on the observation that every metric space can be identified as an enriched category, magnitude is obtained as a special case of Euler characteristic of enriched category, which encompasses generalization of Euler characteristic (along with M¨obius inversion) of group, poset, and so forth [23] . Its theory is being developed through various tools such as differential calculus [5], random matrix theory [30], and homological algebra [15] and so forth. In addition, more classic quantitative notions such as cardinality, dimension [29], and some intrinsic volumes [10] can be obtained as byproducts of magnitude by varying scale of a metric space. What does magnitude signify? Magnitude is considered “the effective number of points” [24] of a metric space in the sense that a group of points close to each other looks similar to a single point. Perhaps this peculiar character also motivated studies on the magnitude of various cases of metric spaces, in an attempt to understand the magnitude. Another possible attempt may be the investigation of continuity with respect to certain topology(e.g., Gromov-Hausdorff topology), as researchers have found both affirmative and negative cases. There is another concept relevant to the magnitude: weighting, a distribution that represents the contribution of each  \nKey words and phrases. magnitude; maximum diversity; time series analysis; electrocardiogram;  \n*Seoul National University Department of Mathematical Sciences, Seoul, Seoul, South Korea; [sinwall@snu.ac.kr](sinwall@snu.ac.kr); Corresponding author.  \nA preprint version of this article was published in [37] .  \n2 BYUNGCHANG SO  \nelement of a metric space to the magnitude. Containing more information than the magnitude, the weighting must also be connected to the essence of magnitude.  \nMeanwhile, Meckes [28] suggested a similar notion, maximum diversity, via modifying one of the definitions of magnitude, and showed that it not only shares similar properties with but also is closely related to magnitude. Unlike magnitude, maximum diversity lacks category-theoretic motivation, and not every feature of magnitude theory carries over to the maximum diversity side. For example, the counterpart for maximum diversity of weighting for magnitude has not been discussed. However, maximum diversity has advantages as well: for example, maximum diversity is continuous with respect to Gromov-Hausdorff distance, where the same property holds only partially for magnitude.
