Statistical analysis of the estimates of some stationary performances of the unreliable M/M/1/N queue with Bernoulli feedback

Abstract In this work, we considered the parametric estimation of the characteristics of the M / M / 1 / N {M/M/1/N} waiting model with Bernoulli feedback. Through a Monte-Carlo simulation study, we have illustrated the effect of the estimation of the starting parameters of the considered waiting system on the statistical properties of its performance measures estimates, when these latter are obtained using the plug-in method. In addition, several types of convergence (bias, variance, MSE, in law) of these performance measure estimators have also been showed by simulation.
