Analysis on Spaces of Congruences of k-ads

This chapter is concerned with nonparametric statistical analysis of landmark-

based shape data, for which the effects of magnification and differences are

taken into account. Our objective is to analyze extrinsic mean reflection-size-

and-shapes associated with a random object on the reflection-size-and-shape

manifold SRΣ km,0 introduced in equation (3.134) in Section 3.5.5.
