Empirical Bayes estimation for queueing systems and networks (Q1201822)

The authors obtain empirical Bayes estimators for different types of queues, among which are the standard \(M/M/1\) queues, \(M/M/1\) queues with state-dependent arrival and service rates, finite capacity \(M/M/1\) queues with state-dependent rates, and open Jackson networks. They study asymptotic properties of these estimators with respect to the conditional distribution of the observations given the parameters, and also with respect to the joint distribution of the observations and the parameters.
