摘要
Maximum likelihood estimation of the probability of ultimate extinction of a possibly age dependent multitype branching process is studied when independent random samples from offspring distributions are available. In multitype Galton-Watson branching process the same problem is discussed when all the individual offspring sizes of all individuals in the first n generations are observed. In both the cases asymptotic properties of the estimators are derived.
