    Computing Waiting Time Probabilities Related To (k1< k2< ..., kl< Pattern
    (Springer, 2023) Chadjiconstantinidis, Stathis; Eryilmaz, Serkan
    For a sequence of multi-state trials with l possible outcomes denoted by {1, 2, ..., l}, let E be the event that at least k(1) consecutive is followed by at least k(2) consecutive 2s,..., followed by at least k(l) consecutive ls. Denote by T-r the number of trials for the rth occurrence of the event E in a sequence of multi-state trials. This paper studies the distribution of the waiting time random variable T-r when the sequence consists of independent and identically distributed multi-state trials. In particular, distributional properties of T-r are examined via matrix-geometric distributions.

    Compound Geometric Distribution of Order k
    (Springer, 2017) Koutras, Markos V.; Eryilmaz, Serkan
    The distribution of the number of trials until the first k consecutive successes in a sequence of Bernoulli trials with success probability p is known as geometric distribution of order k. Let T (k) be a random variable that follows a geometric distribution of order k, and Y (1),Y (2),aEuro broken vertical bar a sequence of independent and identically distributed discrete random variables which are independent of T (k) . In the present article we develop some results on the distribution of the compound random variable Y-t.
