The M/G/1 retrial queue: An information theoreticapproach. Statistics and Operations Research Transactions 29, 119-137.1696-2281https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/101881In this paper, we give a survey of the use of information theoretic techniques for the estimation of the main performance characteristics of the M/G/1 retrial queue. We focus on the limiting distribution of the system state, the length of a busy period and the waiting time. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the accuracy of the maximum entropy estimations when they are compared versus the classical solutions.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/journal articlehttps://www.idescat.cat/serveis/biblioteca/docs/bib/publicacions/r00262005v291.pdfhttps://www.idescat.cat/sort/open access519.21Principle of maximum entropyM/G/1 retrial queueLimiting distributionBusy periodWaiting timeProbabilidades (Estadística)1208 Probabilidad
