摘要:
Consider a continuous-time process {ZN(t)}, where {Z(n)} is a Galton-Watson process with offspring mean m, and {N-t} is a Poisson process independent of {Z(n)}. It turns out that R-t := ZN(t)+1/ZN(t) is an estimator of m. We deal with large deviation rates for the convergence of R-t to m for the supercritical and critical cases.
