Abstract
In this paper we study two distributions, namely the distribution of the waiting times until given numbers of occurrences of compound patterns and the distribution of the numbers of occurrences of compound patterns in a fixed number of trials. We elucidate the interrelation between these two distributions in terms of the generating functions. We provide perspectives on the problems related to compound patterns in statistics and probability. As an application, the waiting time problem of counting runs of specified lengths is considered in order to illustrate how the distributions of waiting times can be derived from our theoretical results.
