Estimating the mean of a random vector from i.i.d. data has received considerable attention, and the optimal accuracy one may achieve with a given confidence is fairly well understood by now. When the data take values in more general metric…
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…
Fr\'echet mean and variance provide a way of obtaining mean and variance for general metric space valued random variables and can be used for statistical analysis of data objects that lie in abstract spaces devoid of algebraic structure and…
Fr\'echet means are indispensable for nonparametric statistics on non-Euclidean spaces. For suitable random variables, in some sense, they "sense" topological and geometric structure. In particular, smeariness seems to indicate the presence…
Advancements in data collection have led to increasingly common repeated observations with complex structures in biomedical studies. Treating these observations as random objects, rather than summarizing features as vectors, avoids feature…
Although consistency is a minimum requirement of any estimator, little is known about consistency of the mean partition approach in consensus clustering. This contribution studies the asymptotic behavior of mean partitions. We show that…
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…
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…
We study a generalization of the Fr\'echet mean on metric spaces, which we call $\phi$-means. Our generalization is indexed by a convex function $\phi$. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for $\phi$-means to be finite and provide a…
Topic models are Bayesian models that are frequently used to capture the latent structure of certain corpora of documents or images. Each data element in such a corpus (for instance each item in a collection of scientific articles) is…
We study the problem of estimating a mean pattern from a set of similar curves in the setting where the variability in the data is due to random geometric deformations and additive noise. We propose an estimator based on the notion of…
In this manuscript we consider random objects being measured in multiple metric spaces, which may arise when those objects may be measured in multiple distinct ways. In this new multivariate setting, we define a Fr\'echet covariance and…
