In this article, we study the consistency of the template estimation with the Fr\'echet mean in quotient spaces. The Fr\'echet mean in quotient spaces is often used when the observations are deformed or transformed by a group action. We…

The Fr\'echet mean generalizes the concept of a mean to a metric space setting. In this work we consider equivariant estimation of Fr\'echet means for parametric models on metric spaces that are Riemannian manifolds. The geometry and…
Functional data analysis is proved to be useful in many scientific applications. The physical process is observed as curves and often there are several curves observed due to multiple subjects, providing the replicates in statistical sense.…
Fr\'echet means are a popular type of average for non-Euclidean datasets, defined as those points which minimise the average squared distance to a set of data points. We consider the behaviour of sample Fr\'echet means on normed spaces…

It is well known, that Fr\'echet means on non-Euclidean spaces may exhibit nonstandard asymptotic rates depending on curvature. Even for distributions featuring standard asymptotic rates, there are non-Euclidean effects, altering finite…
Fr\'echet means on non-Euclidean spaces may exhibit nonstandard asymptotic rates rendering quantile-based asymptotic inference inapplicable. We show here that this affects, among others, all circular distributions whose support exceeds a…

Science students must deal with the errors inherent to all physical measurements and be conscious of the necessity to express their as a best estimate and a range of uncertainty. Errors are routinely classified as statistical or systematic.…
