Bard Large Customer Population (LCP) approximate MVA.

Y. Bard, "Some extensions to multiclass queueing network analysis", in Performance of Computer Systems, North-Holland, 1979. The first approximate MVA algorithm: it estimates the arrival-instant queue length by the time-averaged one WITHOUT removing the arriving customer,

A_k^(c)(N) = Q_k(N - 1_c) ~= Q_k(N) = sum_s Q_ks(N),

since with a large population one customer less cannot change the mean queue lengths appreciably. Setting the Bard-Schweitzer proportional term Q_kc(N)/N_c to zero recovers this algorithm, so LCP is uniformly more pessimistic than Pfqn_bs and is inaccurate at small populations.
