    Abstract

    In this paper, six new (k1, k2, ⋯ , km) -runs with multi-state trials are proposed creatively, which can satisfy the practical needs in many fields. The exact distributions of proposed runs are obtained by applying finite Markov chain imbedding approach. This paper not only studies the case of independent identical distribution (i.i.d.) multi-state trials, but also independent non-identical distribution (non-i.i.d.) multi-state trials. Numerical examples have served the purpose to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. This study is of reference value and application significance for similar runs.
