This paper defines quantiles, ranks and statistical depths for image data by leveraging ideas from measure transportation. The first step is to embed a distribution of images in a tangent space, with the framework of linear optimal…
Univariate concepts as quantile and distribution functions involving ranks and signs, do not canonically extend to $\mathbb{R}^d, d\geq 2$. Palliating that has generated an abundant literature. Chapter 1 shows that, unlike the many…
We propose center-outward superquantile and expected shortfall functions, with applications to multivariate risk measurements, extending the standard notion of value at risk and conditional value at risk from the real line to…
Inspired by the matching of supply to demand in logistical problems, the optimal transport (or Monge--Kantorovich) problem involves the matching of probability distributions defined over a geometric domain such as a surface or manifold. In…
Tools from optimal transport (OT) theory have recently been used to define a notion of quantile function for directional data. In practice, regularization is mandatory for applications that require out-of-sample estimates. To this end, we…
This paper is devoted to the study of the Monge-Kantorovich theory of optimal mass transport and its applications, in the special case of one-dimensional and circular distributions. More precisely, we study the Monge-Kantorovich distances…
Quantiles are a fundamental concept in probability and theoretical statistics and a daily tool in their applications. While the univariate concept of quantiles is quite clear and well understood, its multivariate extension is more…
Extending rank-based inference to a multivariate setting such as multiple-output regression or MANOVA with unspecified d-dimensional error density has remained an open problem for more than half a century. None of the many solutions…
The concept of median/consensus has been widely investigated in order to provide a statistical summary of ranking data, i.e. realizations of a random permutation $\Sigma$ of a finite set, $\{1,\; \ldots,\; n\}$ with $n\geq 1$ say. As it…
The use of quantiles to obtain insights about multivariate data is addressed. It is argued that incisive insights can be obtained by considering directional quantiles, the quantiles of projections. Directional quantile envelopes are…
Non-Euclidean data become more prevalent in practice, necessitating the development of a framework for statistical inference analogous to that for Euclidean data. Quantile is one of the most important concepts in traditional statistical…
In this series of lectures we introduce the Monge-Kantorovich problem of optimally transporting one distribution of mass onto another, where optimality is measured against a cost function c(x,y). Connections to geometry, inequalities, and…
Increased attention has been given recently to the statistical analysis of variables with values on nonlinear manifolds. A natural but nontrivial problem in that context is the definition of quantile concepts. We are proposing a solution…
This note exposes the differential topology and geometry underlying some of the basic phenomena of optimal transportation. It surveys basic questions concerning Monge maps and Kantorovich measures: existence and regularity of the former,…
One considers Hilbert space valued measures on the Borel sets of a compact metric space. A natural numerical valued integral of vector valued continuous functions with respect to vector valued functions is defined. Using this integral,…
We investigate the approximation of Monge--Kantorovich problems on general compact metric spaces, showing that optimal values, plans and maps can be effectively approximated via a fully discrete method. First we approximate optimal values…
We present canonical quantiles and depths for directional data following a distribution which is elliptically symmetric about a direction $\mu$ on the sphere $\mathcal{S}^{d-1}$. Our approach extends the concept of Ley et al. [1], which…
In this paper, Monge-Kantorovich problem is considered in the infinite dimension on an abstract Wiener space $(W, H,\mu)$, where $H$ is Cameron-Martin space and $\mu$ is the Gaussian measure. We study the regularity of optimal transport…
Stochastic dominance (SD) provides a quantile-based partial ordering of random variables and has broad applications. Its extension to multivariate settings, however, is challenging due to the lack of a canonical ordering in $\mathbb{R}^d$…
In this paper we study multivariate ranks and quantiles, defined using the theory of optimal transport, and build on the work of Chernozhukov et al.(2017) and Hallin et al.(2021). We study the characterization, computation and properties of…
