Abstract:
The output process of an infinite-server queue with a Poisson process input is observed starting at time 0 with an empty queue. It is assumed that the service time distribution is known. This article discusses statistical inference about the input intensity. A controversial issue in the study of multiple sclerosis is addressed as a motivation for the model and methods developed.
