Abstract

This paper focuses on the M/M/m/K queuing model‎, ‎where inter-arrival and service times follow exponential distributions‎. ‎We discuss the fuzzy average degree of customer satisfaction and evaluate traffic intensity based on a fuzzy index‎, ‎using Bayesian‎, ‎E-Bayesian‎, ‎and hierarchical Bayesian methods‎, ‎applying the general entropy loss function‎. ‎Additionally‎, ‎the maximum likelihood estimation method is utilized for estimation‎. ‎To compare the performances of the proposed estimation methods‎, ‎a Monte Carlo simulation is conducted‎. ‎Evaluation criteria‎, ‎such as the cost function and the average customer satisfaction index‎, ‎are used to select the most appropriate estimation method for the present paper‎. ‎Finally‎, ‎a numerical example is provided to determine the most suitable estimator‎.
