Nonparametric Inference on Manifolds

With Applications to Shape Spaces

af Abhishek (Assistant Professor) Bhattacharya

Ideal for statisticians, this book will also interest probabilists, mathematicians, computer scientists, and morphometricians with mathematical training. It presents a systematic introduction to a general nonparametric theory of statistics on manifolds, with emphasis on manifolds of shapes. The theory has important applications in medical diagnostics, image analysis and machine vision.
