Abstract
This is a sequel to Part I of “A Subjective Bayesian Approach to the Theory of Queues”. The focus here is on inference and a use of Shannon's measure of information for assessing the amount of information conveyed by the various types of data from queues. The notation and terminology used here is established in Part I.
