Parameter estimation in pair hidden Markov models
This paper deals with parameter estimation in pair hidden Markov models (pairHMMs). We first provide a rigorous formalism for these models and discuss possible definitions of likelihoods. The model being biologically motivated, some restrictions with respect to the full parameter space naturally occur. Existence of two different Information divergence rates is established and divergence propert...
متن کاملInformation Geometry Approach to Parameter Estimation in Hidden Markov Models
We consider the estimation of hidden Markovian process by using information geometry with respect to transition matrices. We consider the case when we use only the histogram of k-memory data. Firstly, we focus on a partial observation model with Markovian process and we show that the asymptotic estimation error of this model is given as the inverse of projective Fisher information of transition...
متن کاملParameter Estimation for Hidden Markov Models with Intractable Likelihoods
Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) is a popular technique for approximating likelihoods and is often used in parameter estimation when the likelihood functions are analytically intractable. Although the use of ABC is widespread in many fields, there has been little investigation of the theoretical properties of the resulting estimators. In this paper we give a theoretical analysis of the as...
متن کاملLearning Morphology with Pair Hidden Markov Models
In this paper I present a novel Machine Learning technique based on Pair Hidden Markov Models, a statistical model used in bioinformatics. This technique can be used to learn nite-state string to string transductions. I present a model of the acquisition of the English past tense. The same model can also learn without modiication the Arabic broken plural, a much more complex morphological syste...
متن کاملPair hidden Markov models on tree structures
MOTIVATION Computationally identifying non-coding RNA regions on the genome has much scope for investigation and is essentially harder than gene-finding problems for protein-coding regions. Since comparative sequence analysis is effective for non-coding RNA detection, efficient computational methods are expected for structural alignments of RNA sequences. On the other hand, Hidden Markov Models...
