Unbiased Stereological Estimation of d-Dimensional Volume in ℝn from an Isotropic Random Slice Through a Fixed Point

Unbiased stereological estimators of d -dimensional volume in ℝ n are derived, based on information from an isotropic random r -slice through a specified point. The content of the slice can be subsampled by means of a spatial grid. The estimators depend only on spatial distances. As a fundamental lemma, an explicit formula for the probability that an isotropic random r -slice in ℝ n through O hits a fixed point in ℝ n is given.
