How to describe, reliably and effectively, the quality of a continuous stream is a problem facing many companies in the chemical industry. The average quality estimated from an average of individual test sample values is most useful if its distribution is known or can be estimated. A simple...

Abstract This is a short survey about asymptotic properties of a supercritical branching process (Z_{n}) with immigration in a stationary and ergodic or independent and identically distributed random environment. We first present basic properties of the fundamental submartingale (W_{n}) , about...

By an adaptation of a method originally invented by G. Kersting [1] for the calculation of the limiting distribution of Markovian processes the central limit theorem (CLT) is proven. Only the case of equal variances is considered.

This note studies conditions under which sequences of state variables generated by discrete-time stochastic optimal accumulation models have law of large numbers and central limit properties. Productivity shocks with unbounded support are considered. Instead of restrictions on the support of the...
