Behavior of the Fréchet mean and Central Limit Theorems on spheres
We compute higher derivatives of the Fréchet function on spheres with an absolutely continuous and rotationally symmetric probability distribution. Consequences include (i) a practical condition to test if the mode of the symmetric distribution is a local Fréchet mean; (ii) a Central Limit Theorem on spheres with practical assumptions and an explicit limiting distribution; and (iii) an answer to the question of whether the smeary effect can occur on spheres with absolutely continuous and rotationally symmetric distributions: with the method presented here, it can in dimension at least 4.
期刊介绍:
The Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics aims to publish high quality research papers in applied probability, applied statistics, computational statistics, mathematical statistics, probability theory and stochastic processes.
More specifically, the following types of contributions will be considered:
(i) Original articles dealing with methodological developments, comparison of competing techniques or their computational aspects.
(ii) Original articles developing theoretical results.
(iii) Articles that contain novel applications of existing methodologies to practical problems. For these papers the focus is in the importance and originality of the applied problem, as well as, applications of the best available methodologies to solve it.
(iv) Survey articles containing a thorough coverage of topics of broad interest to probability and statistics. The journal will occasionally publish book reviews, invited papers and essays on the teaching of statistics.
