Description: A single server is approached by a stream of Poisson arrivals with known arrival rate. The  service times are assumed to be independent identically distributed with unknown distribution.      One has available a finite sample of service times obtained by observing the system. A      nonparametric approach is taken towards estimating the expected waiting time encountered      by a new arriving customer at a finite time t, EWt both for stable and unstable systems. The      estimator uses approximations to EWt and an empirical version of the well known Laplace      transform of EWt for the M/G/1 queue. Empirical transform; Laplace transform of the virtual      waiting of the M/G/1 queue; Exponential approximation; Brownian motion with drift. (jes)
