This book, a follow-up of Nonparametric Statistics on Manifolds and Their Applications to Object Data Analysis where the reader was introduced to data analysis on manifolds, is expanding the subject of data analysis on object spaces, to the case of metric spaces that have a smooth structure on an open dense subset only, governed by a nice filtration structure on the singular part of this space,...

Biography

Vic Patrangenaru is a professor in the Statistics Department at Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida, USA. He is an honored fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. His research encompasses analysis of complex data types, and the application of projective and differential geometry in various fields, including computer vision, medical imaging and phylogenetics. Throughout his career Dr. Patrangenaru, who guided many doctoral students, spearheaded the new  area of Object Data Analysis. He  added a new class to the Mathematics Subject Classification 2020 , 62R30 Statistics on Manifolds, which is currently in use by Mathematical Reviews and Zentralblatt für Mathematik
