Abstract: Abstract Two estimators are introduced for estimating the number m of servers for the multiserver queueing system M/M/m with infinite waiting room. One estimator is the maximum likelihood estimator and the other is more accurate for estimating large values of m. Simulation is used to simulate the system and compare the two estimators numerically.
