For sets $\mathcal Q$ and $\mathcal Y$, the generalized Fr\'echet mean $m \in \mathcal Q$ of a random variable $Y$, which has values in $\mathcal Y$, is any minimizer of $q\mapsto \mathbb E[\mathfrak c(q,Y)]$, where $\mathfrak c \colon…

For $1\le p \le \infty$, the Fr\'echet $p$-mean of a probability measure on a metric space is an important notion of central tendency that generalizes the usual notions in the real line of mean ($p=2$) and median ($p=1$). In this work we…

While there exists a well-developed asymptotic theory of Fr\'echet means of random variables taking values in a general "finite-dimensional" metric space, there are only a few known results in which the random variables can take values in…

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…

We are interested in measures of central tendency for a population on a network, which is modeled by a metric tree. The location parameters that we study are generalized Fr\'echet means obtained by minimizing the objective function $\alpha…

The distance on a set is a comparative function. The smaller the distance between two elements of that set, the closer, or more similar, those elements are. Fr\'echet axiomatized the distance into what is today known as a metric. In this…

The Frechet mean or barycenter generalizes the idea of averaging in spaces where pairwise addition is not well-defined. In general metric spaces, the Frechet sample mean is not a consistent estimator of the theoretical Frechet mean. For…

We prove a strong law of large numbers for random sets with bounded and closed values contained in an arbitrary (not necessarily separable) Banach space. We make use of a notion of convergence of sets introduced by Fisher, which is stronger…

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…

We establish the Kolmogorov-Feller weak law of large numbers for Frechet mean on non-compact symmetric spaces under certain regularity conditions. Our results accommodate non-identically distributed random variables and are accompanied by…

Fr\'echet means are a popular type of average for non-Euclidean datasets, defined as those points which minimise the average squared distance to a set of data points. We consider the behaviour of sample Fr\'echet means on normed spaces…

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…

A new version of a strong law of large numbers for a ``good'' pairwise independent sequence of random variables (r.v.'s) with a small part of ``bad'' dependent r.v.'s is proposed. The main goal is to relax the assumption on the existence of…
