simulate_initial_probs {seqHMM}

Simulate Parameters of Hidden Markov Models

Description

These are helper functions for quick construction of initial values for various model building functions. Mostly useful for global optimization algorithms which do not depend on initial values.

Usage

simulate_initial_probs(n_states, n_clusters = 1)

simulate_transition_probs(
  n_states,
  n_clusters = 1,
  left_right = FALSE,
  diag_c = 0
)

simulate_emission_probs(n_states, n_symbols, n_clusters = 1)

Arguments

n_states

Number of states in each cluster.

n_clusters

Number of clusters.

left_right

Constrain the transition probabilities to upper triangular. Default is FALSE.

diag_c

A constant value to be added to diagonal of transition matrices before scaling.

n_symbols

Number of distinct symbols in each channel.
