Confidence Intervals for Stereological Estimators with Infinite Variance

Abstract
A statistical estimator is discussed for using two-dimensional electron-microscope data to estimate NV, the number of organelles per unit volume. Under general assumptions, the estimator is shown to be the unique unbiased estimator of NV. Though the estimator has infinite variance, large samples are shown to yield an approximately normally distributed statistic from which confidence intervals for NV can be obtained.
