A diffusion process associated with Fréchet means

This paper studies rescaled images, under exp−1μ, of the sample Fréchet means of i.i.d. random variables {Xk|k≥1} with Fréchet mean μ on a Rie-mannian manifold. We show that, with appropriate scaling, these images converge weakly to a diffusion process. Similar to the Euclidean case, this limiting d...

description This paper studies rescaled images, under exp−1μ, of the sample Fréchet means of i.i.d. random variables {Xk|k≥1} with Fréchet mean μ on a Rie-mannian manifold. We show that, with appropriate scaling, these images converge weakly to a diffusion process. Similar to the Euclidean case, this limiting diffusion is a Brownian motion up to a linear transformation. However, in addition to the covariance structure of exp−1μ(X1), this linear transformation also depends on the global Riemannian structure of the manifold
