Statistics & Probability Letters, 2012, vol. 82, issue 11, 1930-1934

Abstract: We study an extension of a branching process with continuous state space to account for higher order dependence. Probabilistic properties such as extinction probability, mean, variance and the limiting behaviour of the generation sizes are discussed.
