Winnicki will study estimation problems for the branching                  process with immigration.  This research builds on his unified                  theory, which allows inference regardless of the range of                       parameters.  Open questions to be resolved involve asymptotic                   properties.  Tools to be used include functional convergence and                stochastic calculus.  General optimality questions will be                      studied using methods of estimating equations and quasi-                        likelihood.  Extensions to non-homogeneous nearly-critical and                  multitype branching processes will be considered.                                    This research will contribute to the developing field of                   statistical inference for stochastic processes.
