چکیده

This article presents certain recent methodologies and some new results for the statistical analysis of probability distributions on manifolds. An important example considered in some detail here is the 2-D shape space of k-ads, comprising all configurations of k planar landmarks (k > 2)-modulo translation, scaling and rotation.

Nonparametric Statistics on Manifolds with Applications to Shape Spaces

This thesis presents certain recent methodologies and some new results for the statistical analysis of probability distributions on non-Euclidean manifolds. The notions of Fréchet mean and variation as measures of center and spread are introduced and their properties are discussed. The sample estimates from a random sample are shown to be consistent under fairly broad conditions. Depending on t...

Statistical Analysis on Manifolds: A Nonparametric Approach for Inference on Shape Spaces

This article concerns nonparametric statistics on manifolds with special emphasis on landmark based shape spaces in which a k-ad, i.e., a set of k points or landmarks on an object or a scene, is observed in 2D or 3D, for purposes of identification, discrimination, or diagnostics. Two different notions of shape are considered: reflection shape invariant under all translations, scaling and orthog...

Statistics on Manifolds and Landmarks Based Image Analysis: A Nonparametric Theory with Applications

This article provides an exposition of some recent developments in nonparametric inference on manifolds, along with a brief account of an emerging theory on data analysis on stratified spaces. Much of the theory is developed around the notion of Fréceht means with applications, for the most part, to landmark based shape spaces. A number of applications are illustrated with real data in such are...

Statistical Topology via Morse Theory Persistence and Nonparametric Estimation

In this paper we examine the use of topological methods for multivariate statistics. Using persistent homology from computational algebraic topology, a random sample is used to construct estimators of persistent homology. This estimation procedure can then be evaluated using the bottleneck distance between the estimated persistent homology and the true persistent homology. The connection to sta...

Nonparametric Two-Sample Tests on Homogeneous Riemannian Manifolds, Cholesky Decompositions and Dyslexia Detection from Diffusion Tensor Imaging Outputs

This paper addresses much needed asymptotic and nonparametric bootstrap methodology for two-sample tests for means on Riemannian manifolds with a simply transitive group of isometries. In particular, we develop a two-sample procedure for testing the equality of the generalized Frobenius means of two independent populations on the space of symmetric positive matrices. The new method naturally le...
