Description
This toolbox contains algorithms for modeling multivariate time series
with hidden Markov models. The software has been developed on a
Linux platform and has been used on Linux, UNIX (Solaris), and MacOS X.
A
quick-start manual provides
basic information required to install and run the software.
Among the capabilities of the toolbox:
- Estimation of the model parameters (EM) (both ML and MAP)
- Computation of the most likely values of latent variables
(Viterbi)
- Computation of the log-likelihood
- Simulation of the data given the parameters of the model
- Model selection via cross-validation
Models implemented:
- HMM
- Non-homogeneous HMM
- Mixture model
- Non-homogeneous mixture model
Among the emission distribution types:
- Conditionally independent variables or clusters of variables
- Multinomial
- Tree-dependent (Chow-Liu trees and conditional Chow-Liu forests)
- Multivariate Gaussian
