In this paper, we propose a new distribution with unitary support which can be characterized as a ratio of the type $W=X_1/(X_1+X_2)$, where $(X_1, X_2)^\top$ follows a bivariate extreme distribution with Fr\'echet margins, that is, $X_1$…

We develop a variant of Stein's method of comparison of generators to bound the Kolmogorov, total variation, and Wasserstein-1 distances between distributions on the real line. Our discrepancy is expressed in terms of the ratio of reverse…

This paper introduces a novel extension of Fr\'{e}chet means, called \textit{generalized Fr\'{e}chet means} as a comprehensive framework for characterizing features in probability distributions in general topological spaces. The generalized…

A common feature of methods for analyzing samples of probability density functions is that they respect the geometry inherent to the space of densities. Once a metric is specified for this space, the Fr\'echet mean is typically used to…

The primary choice to summarize a finite collection of random objects is by using measures of central tendency, such as mean and median. In the field of optimal transport, the Wasserstein barycenter corresponds to the Fr\'{e}chet or…

Fr\'echet means, conceptually appealing, generalize the Euclidean expectation to general metric spaces. We explore how well Fr\'echet means can be estimated from independent and identically distributed samples and uncover a fundamental…

Sensitivity indices are commonly used to quantity the relative inuence of any specic group of input variables on the output of a computer code. In this paper, we focus both on computer codes the output of which is a cumulative distribution…

The concentration of a distribution toward a lower bound is a conceptually simple property that closely relates to concepts of rarity and poverty, but that lacks a global descriptive statistic. We term this property 'shift' and define it as…

A new inequality between some functional of probability distribution functions is given. The inequality is based on strict convexity of a function used in functional definition. Equality sign in the inequality gives a characteristic…

Regression with distribution-valued responses and Euclidean predictors has gained increasing scientific relevance. While methodology for univariate distributional data has advanced rapidly in recent years, multivariate distributions, which…

In this article, we consider the problem of estimating the parameters of the Fr\'echet distribution from both frequentist and Bayesian points of view. First we briefly describe different frequentist approaches, namely, maximum likelihood,…

We estimate contrasts $\int_0 ^1 \rho(F^{-1}(u)-G^{-1}(u))du$ between two continuous distributions $F$ and $G$ on $\mathbb R$ such that the set $\{F=G\}$ is a finite union of intervals, possibly empty or $\mathbb{R}$. The non-negative…

To characterize the location (mean, median) of a set of graphs, one needs a notion of centrality that is adapted to metric spaces, since graph sets are not Euclidean spaces. A standard approach is to consider the Fr\'echet mean. In this…
