On limited length binary strings with an application in statistical control

FS Makri, ZM Psillakis - The Open Statistics & Probability …, 2017 - benthamopen.com
In a 0-1 sequence of Markov dependent trials we consider a statistic which counts strings of
a limited length run of 0s between subsequent 1s. Its probability mass function is used to …

Connections between Bernoulli strings and random permutations

J Sethuraman, S Sethuraman - The legacy of Alladi Ramakrishnan in the …, 2010 - Springer
A sequence of random variables, each taking only two values “0” or “1,” is called a Bernoulli
sequence. Consider the counts of occurrences of strings of the form {11},{101},{1001},… in …

On the expected number of limited length binary strings derived by certain urn models
