Let, for each t∈T, ψ(t, ۔) be a random measure on the Borel σ-algebra in ℝd such that Eψ(t, ℝd)k < ∞ for all k and let ψ ^ (t, ۔) be its characteristic function. We call the function ψ ^ (t1,…, tl ; z1,…, zl) = 𝖤 ∏ j = 1 l ψ ^ ( t j , z j ) of arguments l∈ ℕ, t1, t2… ∈T, z1, z2∈ ℝd the covaristic of the measure-valued random function (MVRF) ψ(۔, ۔). A general limit theorem for MVRF's in terms of covaristics is proved and applied to functions of the kind ψn(t, B) = µ{x : ξn(t, x) ∈B}, where μ is a nonrandom finite measure and, for each n, ξn is a time-dependent random field.
