Abstract:
In the present paper we study the distributions of families of patterns which generalize runs and patterns distributions extensively examined in the literature during the last decades. In our analysis we assume that the sequence of outcomes under investigation includes independent, but not necessarily identically distributed trials. An illustration is also provided how our new results could be exploited to enrich a new system, still in research, related to patients' weaning from mechanical ventilation.

Binomial Probability Distribution
The outcomes of a binomial experiment fit a binomial probability distribution. A statistical experiment can be classified as a binomial experiment if the following conditions are met:
There are a fixed number of trials. Think of trials as repetitions of an experiment. The letter n denotes the number of trials.
There are only two possible outcomes,...
