A single realization {Z n , 0 ≦n≦N + 1} of a supercritical Galton-Watson process (so called) is considered and it is required to estimate the variance of the offspring distribution. A prospective estimator is proposed, where , and is shown to be strongly consistent on the non-extinction set. A central limit result and an iterated logarithm result are provided to give information on the rate of convergence of the estimator. It is also shown that the estimation results are robust in the sense that they continue to apply unchanged in the case where immigration occurs. Martingale limit theory is employed at each stage in obtaining the limit results.

Iterated Logarithm Law

Analogues of the central limit theorem and iterated logarithm law have recently been obtained for the Galton-Watson process; similar results are established in this paper for the temporally homogeneous Markov branching process and for the associated increasing process consisting of the number of splits in the original process up to time t.

Near Extinction

AbstractIn this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour near extinction of (sub-)critical continuous-state branching processes. In particular, we establish an analogue of Khintchine's law of the iterated logarithm near extinction time for a continuous-state branching process whose branching mechanism satisfies a given condition.

Probabilistic Evolution

We investigate the probabilistic evolution of a near-critical bisexual branching process with mating depending on the number of couples in the population. We determine sufficient conditions which guarantee either the almost sure extinction of such a process or its survival with positive probability. We also establish some limiting results concerning the sequences of couples, females, and males, suitably normalized. In particular, gamma, normal, and degenerate distributions are proved to be limit laws. The results also hold for bisexual Bienaymé–Galton–Watson processes, and can be adapted to other classes of near-critical bisexual branching processes.

Demographic Dynamics

This research work deals with mathematical modeling in complex biological systems in which several types of individuals coexist in various populations. Migratory phenomena among the populations are allowed. We propose a class of mathematical models to describe the demographic dynamics of these type of complex systems. The probability model is defined through a sequence of random matrices in which rows and columns represent the various populations and the several types of individuals, respectively. We prove that this stochastic sequence can be studied under the general setting provided by the multitype branching process theory. Probabilistic properties and limiting results are then established. As application, we present an illustrative example about the population dynamics of biological systems formed by long-lived raptor colonies.
