On the Convergence Rate for the Longest at Most <i>T</i>-Contaminated Runs of Heads

In this paper, we study the usual coin tossing experiment. We call a run at most <i>T</i>-contaminated, if it contains at most <i>T</i> tails. We approximate the distribution of the length of the longest at most <i>T</i>-contaminated runs. We offer a more precise...

description In this paper, we study the usual coin tossing experiment. We call a run at most <i>T</i>-contaminated, if it contains at most <i>T</i> tails. We approximate the distribution of the length of the longest at most <i>T</i>-contaminated runs. We offer a more precise approximation than the previous one.
