On the estimation of spread rate for a biological population. [pdf]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
We propose a nonparametric estimator for the rate of spread of an introduced population. We prove that the limit distribution of the estimator is normal or stable, depending on the behavior of the moent generating function. We show that resampling methods can also be used to approximate the distribution of the estimators.
