Abstract: Researchers have developed ways to generalize the mean and variance to situations in which a data metric is available. We apply the tools developed in Pennec (2006) to categorical data, and show the generality of this approach by considering two quite different applications. First, spelling variability in Middle English is quantified. Second, variability of a finite group (in the sense of group theory) is defined and applied to an example.
