Asymptotics of iterated branching processes
We study iterated Galton-Watson processes, introduced by Gawel and Kimmel as models of the number of repeats of DNA triplets during some genetic disorders. When the process (Xn)n involves some thinning, the extinction Xn → 0 and the explosion Xn → ∞ can have positive probability simultaneously. When the underlying (simple) Galton-Watson process is nondecreasing with mean m, conditional on the e...
متن کاملAsymptotics of posteriors for binary branching processes
We compute the posterior distributions of the initial population and parameter of binary branching processes, in the limit of a large number of generations. We compare this Bayesian procedure with a more näıve one, based on hitting times of some random walks. In both cases, central limit theorems are available, with explicit variances.
متن کاملPoisson representations of branching Markov and measure-valued branching processes
Representations of measure-valued processes in terms of countable systems of particles are constructed for models with spatially varying birth and death rates. Each particle has a location and a “level,” but unlike earlier constructions, the levels change with time. In fact, death of a particle occurs only when the level of the particle hits infinity. For each time t the joint distribution of l...
متن کاملExtinction times in Multitype Markov Branching Processes
In this paper, a distributional approximation to the time to extinction in a subcritical continuous-time Markov branching process is derived. A limit theorem for this distribution is established and the error in the approximation is quantified. The accuracy of the approximation is illustrated in an epidemiological example. Since Markov branching processes serve as approximations to nonlinear ep...
متن کاملBranching processes with immigration and related topics
This is a survey on recent progresses in the study of branching processes with immigration, generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes and affine Markov processes. We mainly focus on the applications of skew convolution semigroups and the connections in those processes.
