Analysing Time Series Structure with Hidden Markov Models

چکیده
This paper considers the problem of extracting the relationships between two time series in a non-linear non-stationary environment with Hidden Markov Models (HMMs). We describe an algorithm which is capable of identifying associations between variables. The method is applied both to synthetic data and real data. We show that HMMs are capable of modelling the oil drilling process and that they outperform existing methods.

Machine Learning Methods for Classifying Human Physical Activity from On-Body Accelerometers
The use of on-body wearable sensors is widespread in several academic and industrial domains. Of great interest are their applications in ambulatory monitoring and pervasive computing systems; here, some quantitative analysis of human motion and its automatic classification are the main computational tasks to be pursued. In this paper, we discuss how human physical activity can be classified us...
متن کاملHMM analysis of general state-space models
These notes explain how to use a hidden Markov model (HMM) approach for analysing possibly highly nonlinear time series data in a state-space formulation. The text introduces the general state-space model and gives an overview of other methods for filtering and smoothing ranging from the simple linear and Gaussian case to the fully general case. A discretization of the state-space is instrument...
متن کاملInference of temporally varying Bayesian Networks
MOTIVATION When analysing gene expression time series data, an often overlooked but crucial aspect of the model is that the regulatory network structure may change over time. Although some approaches have addressed this problem previously in the literature, many are not well suited to the sequential nature of the data. RESULTS Here, we present a method that allows us to infer regulatory netwo...
متن کاملThe analysis of hospital infection data using hidden Markov models.
Surveillance data for communicable nosocomial pathogens usually consist of short time series of low-numbered counts of infected patients. These often show overdispersion and autocorrelation. To date, almost all analyses of such data have ignored the communicable nature of the organisms and have used methods appropriate only for independent outcomes. Inferences that depend on such analyses canno...
متن کاملMarket forecasting using Hidden Markov Models
Working on the daily closing prices and logreturns, in this paper we deal with the use of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) to forecast the price of the EUR/USD Futures. The aim of our work is to understand how the HMMs describe different financial time series depending on their structure. Subsequently, we analyse the forecasting methods exposed in the previous literature, putting on evidence their p...
