摘要
Using second derivative estimators of the GI/G/1 queue as an illustrative example, we demonstrate that smoothed perturbation analysis estimators are not necessarily as "distribution-free" as infinitesimal perturbation analysis estimators, in the sense that the appropriate choice of conditioning quantities-the so-called characterization-may depend on the underlying distribution. Through a different choice of characterization, we derive an estimator that works for distributions for which a previously derived estimator fails.
