# Moderate deviation for maximum likelihood estimators from single server queues

• Consider a single server queueing model which is observed over a continuous time interval (0,T], where T is determined by a suitable stopping rule. Let θ be the unknown parameter for the arrival process and $\hat {\theta }_{T}$ be the maximum likelihood estimator of θ. The main goal of this paper is to obtain a moderate deviation result of the maximum likelihood estimator for the single server queueing model under certain regular conditions.
