Abstract

A large class of statistics of planar and spatial data is closely connected with empirical distributions, which estimate ‘ergodic’ distributions of stationary random sets. The main result is a functional limit theorem concerning the deviation of the empirical distribution from the ‘true’ one. Examples in mathematical morphology are given.
