waiting time. Can I do this using any of the models used in R? /********* i feel this sounds more or less like a queueing model. Try searching "M/M/1 queueing model" on internet. Further, i feel look at poission distribution may also be helpful. It was Long Long time back, more than a decade, when i used GPSS software as i cannot see anything susbstantial in help.search("queue")/help.search("queueingmodel")to model queues. i would be of little help in remembering all those, but i would exten help to whaever extent i can. *****************/ Particularly "forecast"...Can I used ARIMA or ARMA for this? ...The problem /*********** i doubt but may regularizing the series by either transformations and then imputing it may turn irregular series into a time series. but the possibilities are bleak. ******/ Particularly "forecast"...Can I used ARIMA or ARMA for this? ...The problem is I don't think I'm dealing with time series because the measurements of waiting times (at a particular state i.e. job submission) ain't done at regular intervals. Could anyone please suggest a model for this?
