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 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…
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…
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…
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…
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…

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 develop the theory of Fra\"iss\'e limits for classes of finite-dimensional multi-seminormed spaces, which are defined to be vector spaces equipped with a finite sequence of seminorms. We define a notion of a Fra\"iss\'e Fr\'echet space…
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…
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…
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…
The Fr\'echet mean, a generalization to a metric space of the expectation of a random variable in a vector space, can exhibit unexpected behavior for a wide class of random variables. For instance, it can stick to a point (more generally to…
We consider the problem of estimating the Fr\'echet and conditional Fr\'echet mean from data taking values in separable metric spaces. Unlike Euclidean spaces, where well-established methods are available, there is no practical estimator…
It is well known that in $R^n$ , G{\^a}teaux (hence Fr{\'e}chet) differ-entiability of a convex continuous function at some point is equivalent to the existence of the partial derivatives at this point. We prove that this result extends…
In this paper, we study inference for high-dimensional data characterized by small sample sizes relative to the dimension of the data. In particular, we provide an infinite-dimensional framework to study statistical models that involve…
Increasingly, statisticians are faced with the task of analyzing complex data that are non-Euclidean and specifically do not lie in a vector space. To address the need for statistical methods for such data, we introduce the concept of…
A study is made of linear isometries on Fr\'echet spaces for which the metric is given in terms of a sequence of seminorms. This establishes sufficient conditions on the growth of the function that defines the metric in terms of the…
In this study, we consider the realm of covariance matrices in machine learning, particularly focusing on computing Fr\'echet means on the manifold of symmetric positive definite matrices, commonly referred to as Karcher or geometric means.…
