  • Abstract
    A pattern is skewed if, as in 11123, one of its symbols repeats and the others appear once. We show that the pattern-maximum-likelihood distribution of essentially all skewed patterns consists of one discrete element whose probability is the fraction of times the repeated symbol appears in the pattern.
