Abstract: We consider the space $mathcalP(X)$ of probability measures on arbitrary Radon space $X$ endowed with a transportation cost $J(mu,u)$ generated by a nonnegative continuous cost function. For a probability distribution on $mathcalP(X)$ we formulate a notion of average with respect to this transportation cost, called here the Fr'echet barycenter, prove a version of the law of large numbers for Fr'echet barycenters, and discuss the structure of $mathcalP(X)$ related to the transportation cost $J$.
