Let X 1 X 2, · ·· be a Markov Bernoulli sequence with initial probabilities p of success and q = 1 – p of failure, and probabilities 1 – (1 – π) p, (1 – π) p in the first row and (1 – π) (1 – p), (1 – π) p + πin the second row of the transition matrix. If we define Sn = Σ i=1 n Xi , then the limit distribution P{Sn = k} is obtained when n →∞, np →λ.

We study the shape of the probability mass function of the Markov binomial distribution, and give necessary and sufficient conditions for the probability mass function to be unimodal, bimodal, or trimodal. These are useful to analyze the double-peaking results of a reactive transport model from the engineering literature. Moreover, we give a closed-form expression for the variance of the Markov binomial distribution, and expressions for the mean and the variance conditioned on the state at time n.
