18 Motivation and definitions The data The measures ν 1,..., ν n are defined by a dataset of random variables (X i,j ) 1 i n; 1 j pi organized in the form of n experimental units, that is X i,1,..., X i,pi ν i = 1 p i p i δ Xi,j j=1 iid observations sampled from a measure ν i Elsa Cazelles Penalized Barycenters in the Wasserstein space Journées IOP 7 / 29

19 Motivation and definitions Ω R d convex space P 2 (Ω) the set of Borel probability measures supported on Ω with finite moment of order 2 Definition The 2-Wasserstein distance between two measures µ and ν in P p (Ω) is defined by W 2 (µ, ν) = ( inf π Π(µ,ν) Ω 2 x y 2 dπ(x, y) ) 1/2 where the infimum is taken over all probability measures π on the product space Ω Ω with respective marginals µ and ν. In R, W 2 2 (µ, ν) = 1 F 1 0 where F 1 is the quantile function. µ (x) Fν 1 (x) 2 dx Elsa Cazelles Penalized Barycenters in the Wasserstein space Journées IOP 8 / 29

20 Motivation and definitions For Ω R d, P 2 (Ω) is the set of probability measures. Definition Let P ν n = 1 n ni=1 δ νi where δ νi is the dirac distribution at ν i P 2 (Ω). We define the regularized empirical barycenter of the discrete measure P ν n as µ γ P ν n = argmin µ P 2 (Ω) 1 n n W2 2 (µ, ν i ) + γe(µ) i=1 where γ > 0 is a regularisation parameter and the penalty E is a proper, differentiable, lower semicontinuous and strictly convex function. Case γ = 0 : Wasserstein barycenter of [Agueh and Carlier, 2011] ν n argmin µ 1 n n W2 2 (µ, ν i ) i=1 Elsa Cazelles Penalized Barycenters in the Wasserstein space Journées IOP 9 / 29

21 Motivation and definitions As an example, take E the negative entropy defined as { E(µ) = Ω f (x) log(f (x))dx, if µ admits a pdf f + otherwise. Advantage: It is possible to enforce the regularized barycenter to be absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure on Ω.

22 Convergence to a population Wasserstein barycenter 1 Motivation and definitions 2 Convergence to a population Wasserstein barycenter 3 Stability of the minimizer 4 Application to real and simulated data Elsa Cazelles Penalized Barycenters in the Wasserstein space Journées IOP 11 / 29

23 Convergence to a population Wasserstein barycenter Consistency of the regularized barycenter µ γ P n We define the population Wasserstein barycenter defined as µ 0 P argmin W2 2 (µ, ν)dp(ν), µ P 2 (Ω) and its regularized version µ γ P = argmin µ P 2 (Ω) W 2 2 (µ, ν)dp(ν) + γe(µ). where P is a probability measure on P 2 (Ω) and ν 1,..., ν n iid of law P. We recall that µ γ P ν n = argmin µ P 2 (Ω) 1 n n W2 2 (µ, ν i ) + γe(µ) i=1 Elsa Cazelles Penalized Barycenters in the Wasserstein space Journées IOP 12 / 29

24 Convergence to a population Wasserstein barycenter The Bregman divergence D E associated to E is defined for two measures µ, ζ as D E (µ, ζ) := E(µ) E(ζ) E(ζ)(dµ dζ) Ω where E denotes the gradient of E. Thus the symmetric Bregman divergence d E is given by d E (µ, ζ) := D E (µ, ζ) + D E (ζ, µ). Elsa Cazelles Penalized Barycenters in the Wasserstein space Journées IOP 13 / 29

25 Convergence to a population Wasserstein barycenter The Bregman divergence D E associated to E is defined for two measures µ, ζ as D E (µ, ζ) := E(µ) E(ζ) E(ζ)(dµ dζ) Ω where E denotes the gradient of E. Thus the symmetric Bregman divergence d E is given by d E (µ, ζ) := D E (µ, ζ) + D E (ζ, µ). Theorem For Ω compact in R d and E(µ 0 P ) bounded, lim D E (µ γ γ 0 P, µ0 P) = 0, which corresponds to showing that the squared bias term d 2 E (µγ P, µ0 P ) (as classically referred to in nonparametric statistics) converges to zero when γ 0. Elsa Cazelles Penalized Barycenters in the Wasserstein space Journées IOP 13 / 29

26 Convergence to a population Wasserstein barycenter Theorem If Ω is a compact of R d, then one has that where C is a positive constant, E(d 2 E (µ γ P n, µ γ P )) C I(1, H) H L 2 (P) γ 2 n H = {h µ : ν P 2 (Ω) W 2 2 (µ, ν) R; µ P 2 (Ω)} is a class of functions defined on P 2 (Ω) with envelope H, and 1 I(1, H) = sup (1 + log N(ε H L2 (Q), H, L2 (Q))) 1 2 dε Q 0 }{{} Metric entropy The metric entropy is of order 1 ε d.

28 Convergence to a population Wasserstein barycenter Complementary result in the 1D case Theorem (1-D) When ν 1,..., ν n are iid random measures with support included in a compact interval Ω, ( ( )) E de 2 µ γ P n, µ γ P C γ 2 n. where C > 0 does not depend on n and γ. Elsa Cazelles Penalized Barycenters in the Wasserstein space Journées IOP 16 / 29

29 Convergence to a population Wasserstein barycenter Complementary result in the 1D case Theorem (1-D) When ν 1,..., ν n are iid random measures with support included in a compact interval Ω, ( ( )) E de 2 µ γ P n, µ γ P C γ 2 n. where C > 0 does not depend on n and γ. Remark: Metric entropy of the space of quantiles. It follows that if γ = γ n is such that lim n γ 2 nn = + then ( ) lim E(d 2 n E µ γ P, ν µ0 n P) = 0. Elsa Cazelles Penalized Barycenters in the Wasserstein space Journées IOP 16 / 29

30 Convergence to a population Wasserstein barycenter Complementary result with additional regularization in greater dimension When d > 1, the class of functions H is too large, so we have to add regularity. For Ω smooth and uniformly convex, and (ν i ) i=1,...,n of law P. We specify the penalty function E: { E(µ) = R d f (x) log(f (x))dx + f H k (Ω), if f = dµ dλ and f > α + otherwise. where H k (Ω) designates the Sobolev norm associated to the L 2 (Ω) space and α > 0 is arbitrarily small. Elsa Cazelles Penalized Barycenters in the Wasserstein space Journées IOP 17 / 29

31 Convergence to a population Wasserstein barycenter Sobolev embedding theorem: H k (Ω) is included in the Hölder space C m,β for β = k m d/2. Regularity a.e. on optimal maps is obtained from regularity on probability measures (e.g. [Caffarelli, De Philippis and Figalli]) Hence we can bound the metric entropy [Van der Vaart and Wellner] by ( ) 1 a K for any a d/(m + 1). ε Hence, as soon as a/2 < 1, for which k > d 1 is necessary, we get a rate of convergence.

Let µ γ P and ν µγ n P η be the regularized empirical barycenters n associated to the discrete measures P ν n and P η n, then ( ) d E µ γ P, ν µγ n P η 2 n γn inf σ S n n W 2 (ν i, η σ(i) ) = 2 γ T W 2 (P ν n, P η n), i=1 where S n denotes the permutation group of the set of indices {1,..., n} and T W2 (P, Q) := inf W 2 (µ, ν)dπ(µ, ν).

Then ( ( )) E de 2 µ γ P, ν µγ n X 4 γ 2 n n i=1 ( ) E W2 2 (ν i, ν pi ), where µ γ X is the random measure satisfying µ γ X = argmin µ P 2 (Ω) 1 n n W2 2 µ, 1 p i p i=1 i j=1 δ Xi,j + γe(µ).
