The Central Limit Theorem (CLT) is one of the most fundamental results in statistics. It states that the standardized sample mean of a sequence of $n$ mutually independent and identically distributed random variables with finite first and…

We prove a central limit theorem (CLT) for the Frechet mean of independent and identically distributed observations in a compact Riemannian manifold assuming that the population Frechet mean is unique. Previous general CLT results in this…

In this paper, we study fluctuations of conditionally centered statistics of the form $$N^{-1/2}\sum_{i=1}^N c_i(g(\sigma_i)-\mathbb{E}_N[g(\sigma_i)|\sigma_j,j\neq i])$$ where $(\sigma_1,\ldots ,\sigma_N)$ are sampled from a dependent…

We discuss the generic properties of a general, smoothly varying, spherically symmetric mass distribution $\mathcal{D}(r,\theta)$, with no cosmological term ($\theta$ is a length scale parameter). Observing these constraints, we show that…

Variation of empirical Fr\'echet means on a metric space with curvature bounded above is encoded via random fields indexed by unit tangent vectors. A central limit theorem shows these random tangent fields converge to a Gaussian such field…
