### Reduced Statistical Representation of Crystallographic Textures Based on Symmetry-Invariant Clustering of Lattice Orientations

• Materials Science
Crystals
• 2021
As proven in numerous experimental and theoretical studies, physical and mechanical properties of materials are determined by their internal structure. In the particular case of polycrystalline

### Reproducing Kernels and New Approaches in Compositional Data Analysis

• Computer Science
ArXiv
• 2022
The compositional domain is re-interpreted as the quotient topology of a sphere modded out by a group action to understand the function space on compositional domains in terms of that on spheres and to use spherical harmonics theory along with reﬂection group actions for constructing a compositional Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS).

### Density-based clustering of crystal (mis)orientations and the orix Python library

• Physics
Journal of applied crystallography
• 2020
Data clustering incorporating symmetry is applied to crystal orientations and misorientations and the orix Python library for crystal orientation analysis is introduced.

### Inference for spherical location under high concentration

• 2020
It is shown that the spherical mean is, at any $f, a parametrically super-efficient estimator of$\pmb\theta$and that the Watson and Wald tests for$\mathcal{H}_0:{\pmb \theta}={\pmb(\theta)_0\$ enjoy similar, non-standard, optimality properties.
