Inferring Finite-Time Performance in the M/G/1 Queueing Model
Abstract
A single server is approached by a stream of Poisson arrivals with known arrival rate. the service times are assumed to be independent identically distributed with unknown distribution. One has available a finite sample fo service times obtained by observing the system. A nonparametric approach is taken towards estimating the expected waiting time encountered by a new arriving customer at a finite time t, EWt both for stable and unstable systems. The estimator uses approximations to EWt and an empirical version of the well known Laplace transform of EWt for the M/G/1 queue. Empirical transform; Laplace transform of the virtual waiting of the M/G/1 queue; Exponential approximation; Brownian motion with drift.
