Inference in Hidden Markov Models I: Local Asymptotic Normality in the Stationary Case
Following up on Baum and Petrie (1966) we study likelihood based methods in hidden Markov models, where the hiding mechanism can lead to continuous observations and is itself governed by a parametric model. We show that procedures essentially equivalent to maximum likelihood estimates are asymptotically normal as expected and consistent estimates of their variance can be constructed, so that th...
متن کاملFactorized Asymptotic Bayesian Hidden Markov Models
This paper addresses the issue of model selection for hidden Markov models (HMMs). We generalize factorized asymptotic Bayesian inference (FAB), which has been recently developed for model selection on independent hidden variables (i.e., mixture models), for time-dependent hidden variables. As with FAB in mixture models, FAB for HMMs is derived as an iterative lower bound maximization algorithm...
متن کاملAsymptotic smoothing errors for hidden Markov models
In this paper, the asymptotic smoothing error for hidden Markov models (HMMs) is investigated using hypothesis testing ideas. A family of HMMs is studied parametrised by a positive constant , which is a measure of the frequency of change. Thus, when 0, the HMM becomes increasingly slower moving. We show that the smoothing error is ( ). These theoretical predictions are confirmed by a series of ...
متن کاملAsymptotic Normality for Deconvolving Kernel Density Estimators
Suppose that we have 11 observations from the convolution model Y = X + £, where X and £ are the independent unobservable random variables, and £ is measurement error with a known distribution. We will discuss the asymptotic normality for deconvolving kernel density estimators of the unknown density f x 0 of X by assuming either the tail of the characteristic function of £ behaves as II I~Oexp(...
متن کاملA Nonhomogeneous Hidden Markov Model for Precipitation
A stochastic model for relating precipitation occurrences at multiple rain gauge stations to broad-scale atmospheric circulation patterns (the so-called \downscaling problem") is proposed. The model is an example of a nonhomogeneous hidden Markov model and generalizes existing downscaling models in the literature. The model assumes that atmospheric circulation can be classi ed into a small numb...
