Nonparametric renewal function estimation. (English) Zbl 0625.62026

The renewal function is a basic tool used in many probabilistic models and sequential analysis. Based on a random sample of size n, a nonparametric estimator of the renewal function is introduced. Asymptotic properties of the estimator such as consistency and asymptotic normality are developed. A discussion of an application to warranty analysis is also provided.
