Given a distribution. on persistence diagrams and observations X-1, ... , X-n similar to(iid) rho we introduce an algorithm in this paper that estimates a Frechet mean from the set of diagrams X-1, ... , X-n. If the underlying measure rho is a combination of Dirac masses rho = 1/m Sigma(m)(i=1) delta(Zi) then we prove the algorithm converges to a local minimum and a law of large numbers result for a Frechet mean computed by the algorithm given observations drawn iid from rho. We illustrate the convergence of an empirical mean computed by the algorithm to a population mean by simulations from Gaussian random fields.
