Let X1,X2,…,XN be independent, identically distributed, non-negative, integervalued random variables and let N be a non-negative, integer-valued random variable independent of X1,X2,…,XN . In this paper, we consider two nonparametric estimation problems for the random sum variable. The first is the estimation of the means of Xi and N based on the second-moment assumptions on distributions of Xi and N . The second is the nonparametric estimation of the distribution of Xi given a parametric model for the distribution of N . Some asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators are discussed.
