Queues
C. Armero and M.J. Bayarri
The intuitive notion that
everybody has of the much familiar `queues' or waiting lines closely
parallels its mathematical meaning. Queueing systems are simplified
mathematical models to explain congestion. It is a field of impressive
activity and growth. It has mainly been concerned with the building of the
models and the study of its probability properties. Relatively little effort
has been put into their statistical analysis. In this article, the main
concepts underlying simple queuing systems are discussed; some Bayesian
inferential tools are also given.
