hmmspec {mhsmm}

Specificatin of HMMs

Description

Creates a model specficiation for a hidden Markov model

Usage

hmmspec(init, trans, parms.emission, dens.emission, rand.emission=NULL,mstep=NULL)

Arguments

init

Distribution of states at t=1 ie. P(S=s) at t=1

trans

The transition matrix of the Markov chain

parms.emission

A list containing the parameters of the emission distribution

dens.emission

Density function of the emission distribution.

rand.emission

The function used to generate observations from the emission distribution

mstep

Re-estimates the parameters of density function on each iteration

Value

A hmmspec object
