### On runs, bivariate Poisson mixtures and distributions that arise in Bernoulli arrays

#### Abstract

Distributional findings are obtained relative to various quantities arising in Bernoulli arrays $\{ X_{k,j}, k \geq 1, j =1, \ldots, r+1\}$, where the rows $(X_{k,1}, \ldots, X_{k,r+1})$  are independently distributed as $\hbox{Multinomial}\,.$
