Abstract Joint distributions of the numbers of failures, successes andsuccess-runs of length less than k until the first consecutive k successesin a binary sequence were derived recently by Aki and Hirano (1995, Ann.Inst. Statist. Math., 47, 225-235). In this paper, we present an alternatederivation of these results and also use this approach to establish someadditional results. Extensions of these results to binary sequences of orderh are also presented.
