 Objectives of the Study
• In this paper, a unified approach is used to derive the
probability distributions of (i) the number of runs and
(ii) the maximum run length for a sequence of the
categorical variable with more than two classes.

• Probability distributions are expressed as recursive

equations, and can be easily implemented with
spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel.
