Abstract
A unified formulation to generate branching processes with continuous or discrete state space is provided. It includes processes with immigration and in varying environments. It also expands the known class of non-Gaussian Markov time series for non-negative variates. The finite time and asymptotic properties of the processes introduced in the paper are investigated.
