Stereological estimation of mean particle volume tensors from vertical sections Eva B. Vedel Jensen (Aarhus University) (November 22, 2016) In this talk, we discuss stereological estimation of mean particle volume tensors in R^3 from vertical sections. We consider a particle process of compact particles that can be represented as a stationary marked point process. Under the assumption that the particle distribution is invariant under rotations around a fixed axis, called the vertical axis, we show how the mean particle volume tensors can be estimated consistently (in a probabilistic sense) from observations in vertical sections through a sample of particles. In a simulation study, the new estimator has a superior behaviour compared to an earlier estimator based on observations in several optical planes. Joint work with Astrid Kousholt, Johanna F. Ziegel and Markus Kiderlen.
