Abstract
The problem of obtaining maximum likelihood estimates for the parameters involved in a stationary single-channel, Markovian queuing process is considered. A method of taking observations is presented which simplifies this problem to that of determining a root of a certain quadratic equation. A useful and even simpler rational approximation is also studied.
