Invalidity of Bootstrap for Critical Branching Processes with Immigration
带移入的临界分枝过程中 Bootstrap 的无效性
This article considers a case of parametric bootstrap when the observations consist of generation sizes of the branching process with immigration together with the immigration component of each generation. Suppose we estimate the offspring mean $m$ by the maximum likelihood estimator (m.l.e.). It is then shown that the bootstrap version of the standardized m.l.e. does not have the same limiting distribution as the standardized m.l.e., under the assumption that $m = 1$ (critic…
