Given a distribution ρ\textbackslashrho on persistence diagrams and observations X1,…,Xn∼iidρX_\1\,\textbackslashldots ,X_\n\ \textbackslashmathop \\textbackslashsim \\textbackslashlimits \^\iid\ \textbackslashrho we introduce an algorithm in this paper that estimates a Fréchet mean from the set of diagrams X1,…,XnX_\1\,\textbackslashldots ,X_\n\. If the underlying measure ρ\textbackslashrho is a combination of Dirac masses ρ=1m∑mi=1δZi\textbackslashrho = \textbackslashfrac\1\\m\ \textbackslashsum _\i=1\\^\m\ \textbackslashdelta _\Z_\i\\ then we prove the algorithm converges to a local minimum and a law of large numbers result for a Fréchet mean computed by the algorithm given observations drawn iid from ρ\textbackslashrho . We illustrate the convergence of an empirical mean computed by the algorithm to a population mean by simulations from Gaussian random fields.
