simHMM(hmm, length)

Arguments

hmm

A Hidden Markov Model.

length

The length of the simulated sequence of observations and states.

Value

The function simHMM returns a path of states and associated observations:

states

The path of states.

observations

The sequence of observations.

Format

Dimension and Format of the Arguments.

hmm

A valid Hidden Markov Model, for example instantiated by initHMM.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# Initialise HMM
hmm = initHMM(c("X","Y"),c("a","b","c"))
# Simulate from the HMM
simHMM(hmm, 100)
# }
