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…

Fr\'echet regression has emerged as a promising approach for regression analysis involving non-Euclidean response variables. However, its practical applicability has been hindered by its reliance on ideal scenarios with abundant and…

Fr\'echet regression has emerged as a useful tool for modeling non-Euclidean response variables associated with Euclidean covariates. In this work, we propose a global Fr\'echet regression estimation method that incorporates low-rank…

We consider two statistical problems at the intersection of functional and non-Euclidean data analysis: the determination of a Fr\'echet mean in the Wasserstein space of multivariate distributions; and the optimal registration of deformed…

The concepts of mean (i.e., average) and covariance of a random variable are fundamental in statistics, and are used to solve real-world problems such as those that arise in robotics, computer vision, and medical imaging. On matrix Lie…

For most optimisation methods an essential assumption is the vector space structure of the feasible set. This condition is not fulfilled if we consider optimisation problems over the sphere. We present an algorithm for solving a special…

A Fr\'echet mean of a random variable $Y$ with values in a metric space $(\mathcal Q, d)$ is an element of the metric space that minimizes $q \mapsto \mathbb E[d(Y,q)^2]$. This minimizer may be non-unique. We study strong laws of large…

Fr\'echet means of samples from a probability measure $\mu$ on any smoothly stratified metric space M with curvature bounded above are shown to satisfy a central limit theorem (CLT). The methods and results proceed by introducing and…

When the study variable is functional and storage capacities are limited or transmission costs are high, selecting with survey sampling techniques a small fraction of the observations is an interesting alternative to signal compression…

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…
