The general service time density is approximated with a class of Erlang mixtures which are phase type distributions. Given this phase type approximation, an explicit evaluation of measures such as the stationary queue size, waiting time and busy period distributions can be obtained. Given arrival and service data, a Bayesian procedure based on reversible jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods is proposed to estimate system parameters and predictive distributions.334288 bytesapplication/pdfengBayesian estimation for the M/G/1 queue using a phase type approximationworking paperEstadísticaopen accessws013019
