Abstract

Discrete Phase-Type (DPH) distributions have one property that is not shared by Continuous Phase-Type (CPH) distributions, i.e., representing a deterministic value as a DPH random variable. This property distinguishes the application of DPH in stochastic modeling of real-life problems, such as stochastic scheduling, in which service time random variables should be compared with a deadline that is usually a constant value. In this paper, we consider a restricted class of DPH distributions, called Mixed Shifted Negative Binomial (MSNB), and show its
