We consider penalized estimation in hidden Markov models (HMMs) with multivariate Normal observations. In the moderate-to-large dimensional setting, estimation for HMMs remains challenging in practice ...
In this talk I consider sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods for hidden Markov models. In the scenario for which the conditional density of the observations given the latent state is intractable we ...

Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are a formal foundation for making probabilistic models of linear sequence 'labeling' problems 1,2. They provide a conceptual toolkit for building complex models just by ...

Continuous-time multistate models are widely used for categorical response data, particularly in the modeling of chronic diseases. However, inference is difficult when the process is only observed at ...
