predict.hsmm {mhsmm}

Prediction for hsmms

Description

Predicts the underlying state sequence for an observed sequence newdata given a hsmm model

Usage

## S3 method for class 'hsmm'
predict(object, newdata, method = "viterbi", ...)

Arguments

object

An object of type hsmm

newdata

A vector or dataframe of observations

method

Prediction method (see details)

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Details

If method="viterbi", this technique applies the Viterbi algorithm for HSMMs, producing the most likely sequence of states given the observed data. If method="smoothed", then the individually most likely (or smoothed) state sequence is produced, along with a matrix with the respective probabilities for each state.

Value

Returns a hsmm.data object, suitable for plotting.

newdata

A vector or list of observations

s

A vector containing the reconstructed state sequence

N

The lengths of each sequence

p

A matrix where the rows represent time steps and the columns are the probability for the respective state (only produced when method="smoothed")
