    Notes: Abstract This paper presents a unified approach for the study of the exact distribution (probability mass function, mean, generating functions) of three types of random variables: (a) variables related to success runs in a sequence of Bernoulli trials (b) scan statistics, i.e. variables enumerating the moving windows in a linearly ordered sequence of binary outcomes (success or failure) which contain prescribed number of successes and (c) success run statistics related to several well known urn models. Our approach is based on a Markov chain imbedding which permits the construction of probability vectors satisfying triangular recurrence relations. The results presented here cover not only the case of identical and independently distributed Bernoulli variables, but the non-identical case as well. An extension to models exhibiting Markov dependence among the successive trials is also discussed in brief.

    Notes: Abstract In the present article we investigate the exact distribution of the waiting time for the r-th non-overlapping appearance of a pair of successes separated by at mosk k−2 failures (k≥2) in a sequence of independent and identically distributed (iid) Bernoulli trials. Formulae are provided for the probability distribution function, probability generating function and moments and some asymptotic results are discussed. Expressions in terms of certain generalised Fibonacci numbers and polynomials are also included.

    Notes: Abstract The Morisita's model for estimating the habitat preference by the ant lionsGenuroides japonicus is generalized by introducing, in addition to the environmental densitiesa andb, a repulsivity parameter ϑ. The probability function of the numberL n of individuals choosing fine sand to settle when a total ofn ant lions are introduced is examined. A heuristic and the minimum chi-square methods for estimating the parametersa, b and ϑ are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract In the present article a general technique is developed for the evaluation of the exact distribution in a wide class of waiting time problems. As an application the waiting time for the r-th appearance of success runs of specified length in a sequence of outcomes evolving from a first order two-state Markov chain is systematically investigated and asymptotic results are established. Several extensions and generalisations are also discussed.
