Description:
Galton-Watson tree is a branching stochastic process arising from Fracis Galton’s statistical investigation of the extinction of family names. The process models family names. Each vertex has a random number of offsprings. The figure shows the first four generations of a possible Galton-Watson tree. Image by Dr. Hao Wu.
