On success runs of a fixed length in Bernoulli sequences: Exact and asymptotic results

Abstract: a b s t r a c tConsider a sequence of n Bernoulli (Success-Failure or 1-0) trials. The exact and limiting distribution of the random variable E n,k denoting the number of success runs of a fixed length k, 1 ≤ k ≤ n, is derived along with its mean and variance. An associated waiting time is examined as well. The exact distribution is given in terms of binomial coefficients and an extension of it covering exchangeable sequences is also discussed. Limiting distributions of E n,k are obtained using Poisson and nor… Show more

“…Although we are aware of a few other articles which have presented lower and upper bounds (e.g., [43], [44]), we did not include them here as there seem to be some typos in the formulas presented there. For simplicity (and uniformity) the particular conditions of the different lower and upper bounds were not coded, leading to continuous simulation results over the whole range considered .…”
