Out of a given number of trials flipping a fair coin (p = 0.5) n times, count the number of times a run (streak) of length k occurs
Arguments
- trials
number, number of times flipping a coin n times.
- sample_space
vector, vector of unique values from which to sample.
- sample_probs
vector, vector of probabilities equal in length to
sample_space
.- sample_size
number, size of sample to generate from
sample_space
; e.g. n coin flips.- run_value
number or character, the value on which to count sequential occurrences.
- run_length
number, length of streak of interest value.
Value
number, the total number of applicable runs; i.e. the number of runs where
the length of the run is greater than or equal to the specified run_length
.
Examples
count_runs(
trials = 8,
sample_space = c(0, 1),
sample_size = 5,
run_value = 1,
run_length = 3
)
