This paper presents a new model of asymmetric bifurcating autoregressive process withrandom coefficients. We couple this model with a Galton−Watson tree to take into account possiblymissing observations. We propose least-squares estimators for the various parameters ofthe model and prove their consistency, with a convergence rate, and asymptotic normality.We use both the bifurcating Markov chain and martingale approaches and derive new resultsin both these frameworks.
