Critical Branching Process

Limit theorems for the Galton–Watson process with immigration (BPI), where immigration is not permitted when the process is in state 0 (so that this state is absorbing), have been studied for the subcritical and supercritical cases by Seneta and Tavaré (1983). It is pointed out here that, apart from a change of context, the corresponding theorem in the critical case has been obtained by Vatutin (1977). Extensions which follow from a more general form of initial distribution are sketched, including a new form of limit result (7).

Critical Branching Process

The conditional least-squares estimators of the variances are studied for a critical branching process with immigration that allows the offspring distributions to have infinite fourth moments. We derive different forms of limiting distributions for these estimators when the offspring distributions have regularly varying tails with index α. In particular, in the case in which 2 < α < 8/3, the normalizing factor of the estimator for the offspring variance is smaller than √n, which is different from that of Winnicki (1991).

Critical Branching Process

Asymptotic expansions are obtained for the distribution function of a studentized estimator of the offspring mean sequence in an array branching process with immigration. The expansion result is shown to hold in a test function topology. As an application of this result, it is shown that the bootstrapping distribution of the estimator of the offspring mean in a sub-critical branching process with immigration also admits the same expansion (in probability). From these considerations, it is concluded that the bootstrapping distribution provides a better approximation asymptotically than the normal distribution.

Branching Process With Immigration

Abstract We consider a strongly supercritical branching process in random environment with immigration stopped at a distant time 𝑛. The offspring reproduction law in each generation is assumed to be geometric. The process is considered under the condition of its extinction after time 𝑛. Two limit theorems for this process are proved: the first one is for the time interval from 0 till 𝑛, and the second one is for the time interval from 𝑛 till + ∞ +\infty .

Critical Branching Process

A general branching process begins with an initial object born at time 0. The initial object lives a random length of time and, during its life-time, has offspring which reproduce and die as independent probabilistic copies of the parent. Number and times of births to a parent are random and, once an object is born, its behavior is assumed to be independent of all other objects, independent of total population size and independent of absolute time. The life span of a parent and the number and times its offspring arrive may be interdependent. Multiple births are allowed. The process continues as long as there are objects alive.
