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…

This work resolves the following question in non-Euclidean statistics: Is it possible to consistently estimate the Fr\'echet mean set of an unknown population distribution, with respect to the Hausdorff metric, when given access to…

Modern regression analysis often involves responses and predictors taking values in the same or distinct metric spaces. To rank non-Euclidean heterogeneous predictors in regression by explanatory strength, analogous to the classical $R^2$,…

We establish finite-sample error bounds in expectation for transformed Fr\'echet means in Hadamard spaces under minimal assumptions. Transformed Fr\'echet means provide a unifying framework encompassing classical and robust notions of…

Fr\'echet regression is becoming a mainstay in modern data analysis for analyzing non-traditional data types belonging to general metric spaces. This novel regression method is especially useful in the analysis of complex health data such…

In this article, we show that every centered Gaussian measure on an infinite dimensional separable Fr\'{e}chet space $X$ over $\mathbb R$ admits some full measure Banach intermediate space between $X$ and its Cameron-Martin space. We…

A central part of geometric statistics is to compute the Fr\'echet mean. This is a well-known intrinsic mean on a Riemannian manifold that minimizes the sum of squared Riemannian distances from the mean point to all other data points. The…

In this manuscript we consider random objects being measured in multiple metric spaces, which may arise when those objects may be measured in multiple distinct ways. In this new multivariate setting, we define a Fr\'echet covariance and…

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…

A new class of statistical deformable models is introduced to study high-dimensional curves or images. In addition to the standard measurement error term, these deformable models include an extra error term modeling the individual…

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…

We make a systematic study of frames for metric spaces. We prove that every separable metric space admits a metric $\mathcal{M}_d$-frame. Through Lipschitz-free Banach spaces we show that there is a correspondence between frames for metric…

We study a generalization of the Fr\'echet mean on metric spaces, which we call $\phi$-means. Our generalization is indexed by a convex function $\phi$. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for $\phi$-means to be finite and provide a…

In this short note, we study the properties of the weighted Frechet mean as a convex combination operator on an arbitrary metric space, (Y,d). We show that this binary operator is commutative, non-associative, idempotent, invariant to…
