• Resumen

  • In this paper we introduce and study nonhomogeneous geometric random variables and their representations. We relate these to standard probability mass functions and to representations using birth-and-death processes. This facilitates comparison of various queueing models by birth/death models. We examine different queueing models with the same limiting distribution.
