 Bernoulli process

A Bernoulli process is a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables with a Bernoulli distribution: $\mathbb{P}(B_n=1)=p$ and $\mathbb{P}(B_n=0)=1-p$. It models repeated Bernoulli trials with a fixed success probability and no dependence between trials. The count $K_n={\sum }_{j=1}^n{B}_j$ has a binomial distribution, expected value $np$, and variance $np(1-p)$; the first success time has a geometric distribution on $\{1,2,\dots \}$. The observations $B_n$ and the accumulated count $K_n$ are different stochastic processes: the observations are independent, while consecutive counts share all earlier observations. ^[ref]
