Abstract

Consider a continuous-time process {ZNt}, where {Zn} is a Galton–Watson process with offspring mean m, and {Nt} is a Poisson process independent of {Zn}. It turns out that Rt := ZNt+1/ZNt is an estimator of m. We deal with large deviation rates for the convergence of Rt to m for the supercritical and critical cases.
