Maximum-likelihood estimation for hidden Markov models
Hidden Markov models assume a sequence of random variables to be conditionally independent given a sequence of state variables which forms a Markov chain. Maximum-likelihood estimation for these models can be performed using the EM algorithm. In this paper the consistency of a sequence of maximum-likelihood estimators is proved. Also, the conclusion of the Shannon-McMillan-Breiman theorem on en...
متن کاملModified Maximum Likelihood Estimation in First-Order Autoregressive Moving Average Models with some Non-Normal Residuals
When modeling time series data using autoregressive-moving average processes, it is a common practice to presume that the residuals are normally distributed. However, sometimes we encounter non-normal residuals and asymmetry of data marginal distribution. Despite widespread use of pure autoregressive processes for modeling non-normal time series, the autoregressive-moving average models have le...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Maximum-Likelihood Estimation of Hidden Markov Models
The estimation of Hidden Markov Models has attracted a lot of attention recently, see results of Legland and Mevel (2000) and Leroux (1992). The purpose of this paper is to give a view for the analysis of the maximumlikelihood estimation of HMM-s. General consistency results are compared to the new approach. The new approach is potentially useful for deriving strong approximation results, which...
متن کاملEstimation of Hidden Markov Models with Nonparametric Simulated Maximum Likelihood
We propose a nonparametric simulated maximum likelihood estimation (NPSMLE) with built-in nonlinear ltering. By recursively approximating the unknown conditional densities, our method enables a maximum likelihood estimation of general dynamic models with latent variables including time-inhomogeneous and non-stationary processes. We establish the asymptotic properties of the NPSMLEs for hidden...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood estimation of the multivariate normal mixture model
The Hessian of the multivariate normal mixture model is derived, and estimators of the information matrix are obtained, thus enabling consistent estimation of all parameters and their precisions. The usefulness of the new theory is illustrated with two examples and some simulation experiments. The newly proposed estimators appear to be superior to the existing ones. AMS 1991 subject classificat...
