- Abstract
- This article is concerned with threshold modeling of the bifurcating au-toregressive model (BAR) originally suggested by Cowan and Staudte (1986)for tree structured data of cell lineage study where each individual (Xt)gives rise to two o-spring (X2t;X2t+1 ) in the next generation. The triplet(Xt;X2t;X2t+1 ) refers to mother-daughter relationship. In this paper wepropose a threshold model incorporating the dierence of \fertility" of themother for the rst and second o-springs, and thereby extending BAR tothreshold-BAR (TBAR, for short). We derive a sucient condition of sta-tionarity for the suggested TBAR model. Also various inferential methodssuch as least squares (LS), maximum likelihood (ML) and quasi-likelihood(QL) methods are discussed and relevant limiting distributions are obtained.AMS 2000 subject classications.Primary 62M10; Secondary .Keywords.Bifurcating model, fertility, least squares, quasi-likelihood, threshold model.1.
