Estimation of retrial rate in a retrial queue

Abstract

We consider estimation of the rate of retrials for anM/M/1 repeated orders queueing system with the help of integral estimators. The main problem is connected with the statistical accuracy of the estimator, i.e. with its variance. We derive a simple asymptotic formula for this variance when the interval of observation is long. In connection with this problem we introduce a new Markovian description of retrial queues.
