HMM_one_step: Single EM Iteration for Fitting Hidden Markov Models (HMM)

Description

Execute a single iteration of the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm tailored for fitting Hidden Markov Models (HMMs).

Usage

HMM_one_step(
  delta,
  Y_mat,
  A,
  B,
  X_cube,
  family,
  eps_IRLS = 1e-04,
  max_N_IRLS = 300L
)

Value

A list object with the following slots:

delta_hat

the estimate of delta.

A_hat

the estimate of A.

B_hat

the estimate of B.

log_likelihood

the log-likelihood of the model.

Arguments

delta

a vector of length S specifying the initial probabilities.

Y_mat

a matrix of observations of size N x T.

A

a matrix of size S x S specifying the transition probabilities.

B

a matrix of size S x (p + 1) specifying the GLM parameters of the emission probabilities.

X_cube

a design array of size T x p x N.

family

the family of the response.

eps_IRLS

convergence tolerance in the iteratively reweighted least squares step.

max_N_IRLS

the maximal number of IRLS iterations.
