Abstract:We study distributional data under sparse sampling where each unit is represented by a probability distribution on the real line observed only through a small i.i.d.~sample. A natural notion of central tendency for one-dimensional distributional data is the Wasserstein barycenter, whose quantile function is the pointwise average of the unit-level quantile functions. We focus on pointwise estimation of the Wasserstein barycenter quantile function: at a given quantile level, the target is the population mean of the corresponding unit-level quantiles. A naive plug-in estimator is the empirical Wasserstein barycenter, which treats observed unit-level empirical distributions as the true latent unit-level distributions. Under sparse sampling, however, this estimator can be severely biased. We propose an approach that avoids directly estimating either the unit-level distributions or the full population law of distributions. We start with the more ambitious goal of characterizing the distribution of latent unit-level quantiles at a given quantile level. We show that this distribution can be written in terms of the marginal distributions of the unit-level CDF values, which can be estimated using binomial mixture methods. This motivates our estimator, the marginal-constructed barycenter (MCB) estimator, obtained by taking the mean of the estimated distribution of latent unit-level quantiles. We establish conditions under which the MCB estimator is pointwise consistent and asymptotically normal, and show through simulations that it can substantially outperform the empirical Wasserstein barycenter under sparse sampling. We illustrate the method in an analysis of HIV-1 sequence data from the HVTN 502/503 vaccine efficacy trials, using the barycenter to summarize and compare within-participant distributions of viral sequence features when only a small number of sequences are available per participant.
