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 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…

The Fr\'echet mean (or barycenter) generalizes the expectation of a random variable to metric spaces by minimizing the expected squared distance to the random variable. Similarly, the median can be generalized by its property of minimizing…

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…

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…

The Fr\'echet mean generalizes the concept of a mean to a metric space setting. In this work we consider equivariant estimation of Fr\'echet means for parametric models on metric spaces that are Riemannian manifolds. The geometry and…

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…

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…

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…

This article develops nonparametric inference procedures for estimation and testing problems for means on manifolds. A central limit theorem for Frechet sample means is derived leading to an asymptotic distribution theory of intrinsic…

Quasi-arithmetic means are defined for every continuous, strictly monotone function $f \colon U \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, ($U$ -- an interval). For an $n$-tuple $a \in U^n$ with corresponding vector of weights $w=(w_1,\dots,w_n)$ ($w_i>0$,…

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…

We prove weak laws of large numbers and central limit theorems of Lindeberg type for empirical centres of mass (empirical Fr\'echet means) of independent non-identically distributed random variables taking values in Riemannian manifolds. In…

We define barycentric coordinates on a Riemannian manifold using Karcher's center of mass technique applied to point masses for n+1 sufficiently close points, determining an n-dimensional Riemannian simplex defined as a "Karcher simplex."…

The Billera-Holmes-Vogtmann (BHV) space of weighted trees can be embedded in Euclidean space, but the extrinsic Euclidean mean often lies outside of treespace. Sturm showed that the intrinsic Frechet mean exists and is unique in treespace.…

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…

We extend the Theory of Computation on real numbers, continuous real functions, and bounded closed Euclidean subsets, to compact metric spaces $(X,d)$: thereby generically including computational and optimization problems over higher types,…

The Fr\'{e}chet distance is a popular distance measure between curves $P$ and $Q$. Conditional lower bounds prohibit $(1 + \varepsilon)$-approximate Fr\'{e}chet distance computations in strongly subquadratic time, even when preprocessing…

The space of Gaussian measures on a Euclidean space is geodesically convex in the $L^2$-Wasserstein space. This space is a finite dimensional manifold since Gaussian measures are parameterized by means and covariance matrices. By…

We propose an approach for capturing the signal variability in hyperspectral imagery using the framework of the Grassmann manifold. Labeled points from each class are sampled and used to form abstract points on the Grassmannian. The…
