C. Jacob et J. Peccoud, INFERENCE ON THE INITIAL SIZE OF A SUPERC RITICAL BRANCHING-PROCESS FROM MIGRATING BINOMIAL OBSERVATIONS, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie 1, Mathematique, 322(9), 1996, pp. 875-880
This paper considers the branching process described in [7] and genera
ted by an offspring distribution F with mean m and variance sigma(2),
with binomial migration. We give a strong consistent estimator of sigm
a(2) and a test statistics of the initial size of the population, base
d on a single realization of the migration process.
