Abstract

A general class of Markovian non-Gaussian bifurcating models for cell lineage data is presented. Examples include bifurcating autoregression, random coefficient autoregression, bivariate exponential, bivariate gamma, and bivariate Poisson models. Quasi-likelihood estimation for the model parameters and large-sample properties of the estimates are discussed.
