Abstract
Let be a supercritical branching process in an independent and identically distributed random environment. We establish an optimal convergence rate in the Wasserstein- distance for the process , which completes a result of Grama et al. [Stochastic Process. Appl., 127(4), 1255-1281, 2017]. Moreover, an exponential nonuniform Berry-Esseen bound is also given. At last, some applications of the main results to the confidence interval estimation for the criticality parameter and the population size are discussed.
