Abstract
Extinction probability of a continuous-time continuous state-space branching process is a function of first two moments of the process. These moments are estimated on the basis of a discrete skeleton of the process. Estimators of smooth functions of the first two moments and in particular of extinction probability are proposed. Martingale limit theory is utilised to establish the optimal properties of the estimators.
