Abstract: | We consider several generic geometric properties of location measures in the multivariate setting. Our study addresses the representativity of location measures by considering possible generalizations of the so-called Cauchy mean value property in a general framework mainly based on Φ-means.Our study shows that some caution is needed when using intuitive arguments because the mean is, in some sense, the only “intuitively well-behaved” multivariate location measure. |
