In this paper, we provide an uncertainty analysis for queueing-inventory models, by extending the multivariate Taylor series expansion methodology to such stochastic models. Specifically, we derive a closed-form expressions for the higher-order sensitivity of discrete-time Markov chain stationary distribution with respect to multiple parameter. We establish efficient bound on the remainder term corresponding to the multivariate Taylor series. Additionally, we estimate different quantities of interest of the output measures of the studied queueing-inventory model. Using the copulas theory, we also include the effect of the dependence structure of parameters. The efficacy of the proposed method is shown with several numerical examples and obtained numerical results are compared with those of Monte Carlo simulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
