Abstract
In this paper recursive equations for waiting time distributions of rth occurrence of a compound pattern are studied via the finite Markov chain imbedding technique under overlapping and nonoverlapping counting schemes in sequences of independent and identically distributed iid or Markov dependent multistate trials Using the relationship between number of patterns and rth waiting time distributions of number of patterns can also be obtained The probability generating functions are also obtained Examples and numerical results are given to illustrate our theoretical results
