Waiting time random variables and related scan statistics have a wide variety of interesting and useful applications. In this paper, exact distribution of discrete scan statistics for the cases of homogeneous two-state Markov dependent trials as well as i.i.d. Bernoulli trials are discussed by utilizing probability generating functions. A simple algorithm has been developed to calculate the distributions. Numerical results show that the algorithm is very efficient and is capable of handling large problems.
