Summary
We consider the estimation of frequency ω of a sinusoidal oscillation contaminated by a stationary noise under a random sampling scheme according to a stationary point processN. We prove the strong consistency and the asymptotic normality for a certain estimator of ω. Then we apply these results to the case whereN is a stationary delayed renewal process.
