Abstract
Let X0, X1, … be a simple ergodic Markov chain with a finite set of states and ξ̃n, k(s) be a number of runs of k-fold repetitions of strings having length s. Estimates of accuracy of the Poisson approximation for the distribution of ξn, k(s) in the sequence X0, X1, …, Xn+s−1 are obtained, these estimates are uniform over k.
