It is well known that if $\mathcal{P}_t$ denotes a set of power means then the mapping $\mathbb{R} \ni t \mapsto \mathcal{P}_t(v) \in (\min v, \max v)$ is both 1-1 and onto for any non-constant sequence $v = (v_1,\dots,\,v_n)$ of positive…

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…

The consistency of Fr\'echet medians is proved for probability measures in proper metric spaces. In the context of Riemannian manifolds, assuming that the probability measure has more than a half mass lying in a convex ball and verifies…

Motivated by Varadhan's theorem, we introduce Varadhan functions, variances, and means on compact Riemannian manifolds as smooth approximations to their Fr\'echet counterparts. Given independent and identically distributed samples, we prove…

The geometric median as well as the Frechet mean of points in an Hadamard space are important in both theory and applications. Surprisingly, no algorithms for their computation are hitherto known. To address this issue, we use a split…

This work considers the problem of estimating the distance between two covariance matrices directly from the data. Particularly, we are interested in the family of distances that can be expressed as sums of traces of functions that are…

We introduce a novel, efficient framework for clustering data on high-dimensional, non-Euclidean manifolds that overcomes the computational challenges associated with standard intrinsic methods. The key innovation is the use of the…

Barycenters (aka Fr\'echet means) were introduced in statistics in the 1940's and popularized in the fields of shape statistics and, later, in optimal transport and matrix analysis. They provide the most natural extension of linear…

The classical measure of similarity between two polygonal chains in Euclidean space is the Fr\'echet distance, which corresponds to the coordinated motion of two mobile agents along the chains while minimizing their maximum distance. As…

This paper is a short summary of our recent work on the medians and means of probability measures in Riemannian manifolds. Firstly, the existence and uniqueness results of local medians are given. In order to compute medians in practical…

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…

In the past decades, the central limit theorem (CLT) has been generalized to non-Euclidean data spaces. Some years ago, it was found that for some random variables on the circle, the sample Fr\'echet mean fluctuates around the population…

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…

A set of n non-collinear points in the Euclidean plane defines at least n different lines. Chen and Chv\'atal in 2008 conjectured that the same results is true in metric spaces for an adequate definition of line. More recently, this…

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…
