GENERALIZED DISTRIBUTIONS OF ORDER k ASSOCIATED WITH SUCCESS RUNS IN BERNOULLI TRIALS
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a sequence of independent Bernoulli trials, by counting multidimensional lattice paths in order to compute the probability of a first-passage event, we derive and study a generalized negative binomial distribution of order k, type I, which extends to distributions of order k, the generalized negative binomial distribution of Jain and Consul (1971), and includes as a special case the negative binomial distribution of order k, type I, of Philippou et al. (1983). This new distribution gives rise in the limit to generalized logarithmic and Borel-Tanner distributions and, by compounding, to the generalized Pólya distribution of the same order and type. Limiting cases are considered and an application to observed data is presented.

GENERALIZED BINOMIAL AND NEGATIVE BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTIONS OF ORDER k BY THE/-OVERLAPPING ENUMERATION SCHEME
A b s t r a c t . In this paper, we investigate the exact distribution of the waiting time for the r-th t-overlapping occurrence of success-runs of a specified length in a sequence of two state Markov dependent trials. The probability generating functions are derived explicitly, and as asymptotic results, relationships of a negative binomial distribution of order k and an extended Poisson distr...
متن کاملSimple Expressions for Success Run Distributions in Bernoulli Trials
New simple formulae for some probability distributions of success runs in Bernoulli trials are found by using the classical definition of run. These expressions contain only one summation of ordinary binomial coefficients and thus allow a faster and efficient computation.

Problems associated with the of occurrence of runs of like elements in a series of trials have recently attracted uite a lot of attentiono The reasons may possibly be traced not to the interest they present as generalizing the usual binomial set ut also to the practical value that any theoretical results in this direction would have with regard to statistical testingo Feller [3] a series of Ber...
متن کاملDistribution Theory of Runs and Patterns Associated with a Sequence of Multi-state Trials
Runs and patterns in a sequence of Bernoulli trials and multi-state trials have broadly been used for various purposes and in many areas of statistics and applied probability. Recently, Fu and Koutras (1994) developed a new method based on finite Markov chain imbedding technique to study the exact distributions for the number of specified runs and patterns in a sequence of Bernoulli trials. In ...
متن کاملSurvey of Discrete Distributions of Order k and Related Distributions
The distribution of the number of trials until the first occurrence of consecutive k successes in Bernoulli trials with success probability p is called a geometric distribution of order k. This definition is due to Philippou, Georghiou and Philippou (1983). Though the distribution seems to have been interested since De Moivre (1667-1754)’s works (Todhunter (1865), Feller (1968), Johnson, Kotz a...
