Abstract
A partially observed dynamic germ-grain model with renewal
dropping process is considered. The expected fraction of free area
function is estimated by a product integral-type estimator.
Uniform consistency and asymptotic Gaussianity of the estimator
are proved. Confidence bands and simulation results are also
provided.
