Markov Chains and Hidden Markov Models

Markov chains provide a fundamental framework for modelling stochastic processes, where the next state depends solely on the current state. Hidden Markov models (HMMs) extend this framework by ...

Hidden Markov Models for Extended Batch Data

Batch marking provides an important and efficient way to estimate the survival probabilities and population sizes of wild animals. It is particularly useful when dealing with animals that are ...

Finite Mixture Models and Hidden Markov Models

Finite mixture models and hidden Markov models (HMMs) occupy central roles in modern statistical inference and data analysis. Finite mixture models assume that data originate from a latent combination ...

MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATION IN MARKOV REGIME-SWITCHING MODELS WITH COVARIATE-DEPENDENT TRANSITION PROBABILITIES

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract This paper considers maximum likelihood (ML) estimation in a large class of models with hidden Markov regimes. We investigate consistency of ...
