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…

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…

Any measure $\mu$ on a CAT(k) space M that is stratified as a finite union of manifolds and has local exponential maps near the Fr\'echet mean $\bar\mu$ yields a continuous "tangential collapse" from the tangent cone of M at $\bar\mu$ to a…

Two central limit theorems for sample Fr\'echet means are derived, both significant for nonparametric inference on non-Euclidean spaces. The first one, Theorem 2.2, encompasses and improves upon most earlier CLTs on Fr\'echet means and…

We produce a series of Central Limit Theorems (CLTs) associated to compact metric measure spaces $(K,d,\eta)$, with $\eta$ a reasonable probability measure. For the first CLT, we can ignore $\eta$ by isometrically embedding $K$ into…

In this paper we propose a new approach to the central limit theorem (CLT), based on functions of bounded F\'echet variation for the continuously differentiable linear statistics of random matrix ensembles which relies on: a weaker form of…

We study the fluctuations of the eigenvalues of real valued large centrosymmetric random matrices via its linear eigenvalue statistic. This is essentially a central limit theorem (CLT) for sums of dependent random variables. The dependence…

The (CLT) central limit theorems for generalized Frechet means (data descriptors assuming values in stratified spaces, such as intrinsic means, geodesics, etc.) on manifolds from the literature are only valid if a certain empirical process…

As demonstrated in our previous work on ${\boldsymbol T}_{4}$, the space of phylogenetic trees with four leaves, the global, as well as the local, topological structure of the space plays an important role in the non-classical limiting…

The Central Limit Theorem (CLT) for extrinsic and intrinsic means on manifolds is extended to a generalization of Fr\'echet means. Examples are the Procrustes mean for 3D Kendall shapes as well as a mean introduced by Ziezold. This allows…

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…

Given a probability distribution on an open book (a metric space obtained by gluing a disjoint union of copies of a half-space along their boundary hyperplanes), we define a precise concept of when the Fr\'{e}chet mean (barycenter) is…

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…

We analyze the fluctuations of incomplete $U$-statistics over a triangular array of independent random variables. We give criteria for a Central Limit Theorem (CLT, for short) to hold in the sense that we prove that an appropriately scaled…
