Abstract

This note details the Wasserstein-2 Barycenter for distributions which are spherically equivalent. Separating random variables which have spherically equivalent distributions are the radial component distributions. We show the Barycenter corresponds to a quantile averaging of the distributions. An illustration involving Student-t distributions is presented.
