The approach is illustrated on both simulated and real data sets, where the performance of the MAP2 is compared against that of the well-known MMPP2. As an extension of the method, we estimate the queue length and virtual waiting time distributions of a stationary MAP2/G/1 queueing system, a matrix generalization of the M/G/1 queue that allows for dependent inter-arrival times. Our procedure is illustrated with applications in Internet traffic analysis. %K phase-type distributions %K Markov modulated Poisson process (MMPP) %K Identifiability %K canonical representation %K Gibbs sampler %K steady-state distributions %~ Universidad de Cádiz
