Characteristic Statistical Problems of Stochastic Geometry.

Abstract

The Buffon needle problem and some variations are used to illustrate classical statistical methods of estimation and to lead into, and contrast with, the problems which arise when a sample of some random structure is the data. The flavor of these problems is conveyed largely by discussion of the simplest, and most described, case, that of point processes. (Author)
