The importance of the order two Markovian arrival process (MAP(2)) comes from its compactness, serving either as arrival or service process in applications, and from the nice properties which are not available for higher order MAPs. E.g., for order two processes the acyclic MAP(2) (AMAP(2)), the MAP(2) and the order two matrix exponential process (MEP(2)) are equivalent. Additionally, MAP(2) processes...
In this paper we present an algorithm of the EM-type that performs fitting of PH-distributions with a given number of states to empirical distribution. In contrast to known approaches, the algorithm first generates a discretized representation of the observed data and then performs the fitting. In this way the algorithm is more efficient than other known EM-type methods. By an appropriate discretization,...
