Exponential RV

Poisson RV

Poisson Process

combining poisson processes

splitting poisson processes

CTMC Modelling

define X(t), state of system at time t

write down S, the state space

generator matrix, Q, and draw rate diagram

features of Q

row sum must be equal to 0

differential of the transition probability matrix where you set t = 0

the values of lambda and miu in the diagram dont have to be between 0 and 1

diagonals (downward right) must be less than or equal to 0

common features of both distributions

memoryless

X ~ Exp(lambda) where X refers to the waiting time and lambda refers to the arrival rate

Mean = 1/lambda
Variance = 1/lambda^2

CDF and PDF of Exponential RV

min of two independent exponentials = Exp (lambda + miu)

smaller average waiting time = 1/(lambda + miu) < 1/lambda

prob of two service times being equal = 0 for continuous distribution : P(X= A) when X is a continuous variable = 0

PMF and CDF of Possion

E(X) = Var(X) = lambda where lambda refers to the arrival rate

sum of poissons --> new distribution = Poisson(lambda1 + lambda2)

note lambda 1 and lambda 2 must follow the same time scale

E(X(t)) = Var(X(t)) = lambda * t

difference between Poisson(lambda) and PP(lambda)

one is about the unit time with mean lambda
while the other is about t with mean lambda * t

PP(lambda) = Poisson(lambda*t)

events arrives one by one, and inter arrival times, T, follow a exponential distribution with parameter lambda

arrival rate = lambda, mean of inter arrival time = 1/lambda

PP(lambda1 + lambda2)

split based on probability, so new lambda = lambda*p

definition of CTMCs

time invariant

memoryless

lambda could also refer to failure rate, and 1/lambda refers to average lifetime of the product

notes

redo the inclass activites again (both 1 and 2)

Queues

MM1 Queue

arrival rate lambda, service rate miu

retrial queues

X(t) refers to total no of customers in system

arrival rate lambda, service rate miu

retrial rate lambda: means finish waiting with rate lambda and go back to to server

two X(t)s, one X(t) for those in orbit, second X(t) for those at server

CTMCs steady state

no one state transition prob in CTMC

note rate != probability

infinite number of ways to go from one state to another state within a period t

methods

steady state analysis

pi * Q = 0
sum of pis = 1

cut analysis

pi lambda = pi miu

N many states: N-1 many cuts

long run prob that you have idle server = 1 - lambda/miu

long run prob that you have busy server = 1 - pi (nought) = lambda/miu

need to try the hw questions again

remember they sum to 0 AND NOT 1

remember, one equation will be useless

flow in mean rate = flow out mean rate

take incremental steps: always express pi 1 in terms of pi 0 ... express pi 2 in terms of pi 1 --> then sub in

limiting distribution --> find pi i and pi nought (rmbr to express pi i fully , not with the pi nought term)
