Age and residual lifetime distributions for branching processes

Statistics & Probability Letters, 2007, vol. 77, issue 5, 503-513

Abstract: We introduce and investigate age and residual lifetime distributions associated with branching stochastic processes and motivated by biological applications. The required distributions and their limiting forms are derived in a general class of age-dependent branching processes with non-homogeneous Poisson immigration.
