title: Branching process with emigration--a genetic model.
abstract: Solution of a genetic improvement problem under the model of assortative mating is proposed. This has been achieved through the technique applied to a branching process incorporating a generation-dependent emigration component. The model explains a population subject to culling against genes governing undesirable characters and this work has been tried for a diploid population with two alleles at a single locus, which may be extended to the multilocus case.
