Identification of multitype branching processes

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We solve the problem of constructing an asymptotic global confidence region for the means and the covariance matrices of the reproduction distributions involved in a supercritical multitype branching process. Our approach is based on a central limit theorem associated with a quadratic law of large numbers performed by the maximum likelihood or the multidimensional Lotka--Nagaev estimator of the reproduction law means. The extension of this approach to the least squares estimator of the mean matrix is also briefly discussed. On r'{e}sout le probl`{e}me de construction d'une r'{e}gion de confiance asymptotique et globale pour les moyennes et les matrices de covariance des lois de reproduction d'un processus de branchement multitype et supercritique. Notre approche est bas'{e}e sur un th'{e}or`{e}me de limite centrale associ'{e} `{a} une loi forte quadratique v'{e}rifi'{e}e par l'estimateur du maximum de vraisemblance ou l'estimateur multidimensionnel de Lotka--Nagaev des moyennes des lois de reproduction. L'extension de cette approche `{a} l'estimateur des moindres carr'{e}s de la matrice des moyennes est aussi bri`{e}vement comment'{e}e.
