Abstract: We study the exact distributions of runs of a fixed length in variation which considers binary trials for which the probability of ones is geometrically varying. The random variable $E_{n,k}$ denote the number of success runs of a fixed length $k$, $1leqkleqn$. Theorem 3.1 gives an closed expression for the probability mass function (PMF) of the Type4 $q$-binomial distribution of order $k$. Theorem 3.2 and Corollary 3.1 gives an recursive expression for the probability mass function (PMF) of the Type4 $q$-binomial distribution of order $k$. The probability generating function and moments of random variable $E_{n,k}$ are obtained as a recursive expression. We address the parameter estimation in the distribution of $E_{n,k}$ by numerical techniques. In the present work, we consider a sequence of independent binary zero and one trials with not necessarily identical distribution with the probability of ones varying according to a geometric rule. Exact and recursive formulae for the distribution obtained by means of enumerative combinatorics.
