@article{eryilmaz_2010, title={Discrete Scan Statistics Generated by Exchangeable Binary Trials}, volume={47}, DOI={10.1017/s0021900200007385}, abstractNote={Let {X i } i=1 n be a sequence of random variables with two possible outcomes, denoted 0 and 1. Define a random variable S n,m to be the maximum number of 1s within any m consecutive trials in {X i } i=1 n . The random variable S n,m is called a discrete scan statistic and has applications in many areas. In this paper we evaluate the distribution of discrete scan statistics when {X i } i=1 n consists of exchangeable binary trials. We provide simple closed-form expressions for both conditional and unconditional distributions of S n,m for 2mn. These results are also new for independent, identically distributed Bernoulli trials, which are a special case of exchangeable trials.}, number={04}, publisher={Cambridge University Press (CUP)}, author={Eryilmaz}, year={2010} }
