Self-normalized Cramér moderate deviations for a supercritical Galton–Watson process
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 April 2023
Abstract
Let $(Z_n)_{n\geq0}$ be a supercritical Galton–Watson process. Consider the Lotka–Nagaev estimator for the offspring mean. In this paper we establish self-normalized Cramér-type moderate deviations and Berry–Esseen bounds for the Lotka–Nagaev estimator. The results are believed to be optimal or near-optimal.
