Three techniques for state order estimation of hidden Markov models
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this contribution three examples of techniques that can be used for state order estimation of hidden Markov models are given. The methods are also exem-pliied using real laser range data, and the computational burden of the three methods is discussed. Two techniques, Maximum Description Length and Maximum a Posteriori Estimate, are shown to be very similar under certain circumstances. The third technique, Predictive Least Squares, is novel in this context.

Segmentation of Laser Range Radar Images using Hidden Markov Field Models
Segmentation of images in the context of model based stochasUc techniques is connected with high, very often unpracticle computational complexity. The objective with this thesis is to take the models used in model based image processing, simplify and use them in suboptimal. but not computationally demanding algorithms. Algorithms that are essentially one-dimensional, and their extensions to two...

متن کاملSpeech enhancement based on hidden Markov model using sparse code shrinkage
This paper presents a new hidden Markov model-based (HMM-based) speech enhancement framework based on the independent component analysis (ICA). We propose analytical procedures for training clean speech and noise models by the Baum re-estimation algorithm and present a Maximum a posterior (MAP) estimator based on Laplace-Gaussian (for clean speech and noise respectively) combination in the HMM ...

Background: The Multi state Markov models have extensively application with categorization of laboratory marker of CD4 cells for evaluation of HIV disease progression. These models with different states result in different effects of covariates and prediction of HIV disease trend. The main purpose of this study was comparison of four and five states models with the three- state in order to sele...
