Abstract

An expository account of the recent theory of nonparametric inference on manifolds is presented here, with outlines of proofs and examples. Much of the theory centers around Fréchet means; but functional estimation and classification methods using nonparametric Bayes theory are also indicated. Applications in paleomagnetism, morphometrics and medical diagnostics illustrate the theory.
