Probabilistic models for pattern statistics
RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications, Tome 40 (2006) no. 2, pp. 207-225

In this work we study some probabilistic models for the random generation of words over a given alphabet used in the literature in connection with pattern statistics. Our goal is to compare models based on markovian processes (where the occurrence of a symbol in a given position only depends on a finite number of previous occurrences) and the stochastic models that can generate a word of given length from a regular language under uniform distribution. We present some results that show the differences between these two stochastic models and their relationship with the rational probabilistic measures.
