Given the sequence of observations, a basic problem of interest to be addressed for the HMM in real-world applications is: How do we adjust model parameters to maximize the probability of observing such a sequence of observations, that is, ? The HMM procedure in SAS Econometrics 8.5 (its corresponding CASL version is the HMM action) was developed to solve the problem, that is, to adjust model parameters to maximize the probability of the observation sequence given a model. The set of model parameters is denoted by.
, The probability distribution of observation symbols for each state. , the number of distinct observation symbols per state. Transition Probability Matrix (TPM), where. Initial state probability vector (ISPV). Elements of an HMMĪn HMM is characterized by the following five key elements: In other words, the hidden Markov model is a doubly embedded stochastic process with an underlying stochastic process hidden (unobservable) and another observable stochastic process producing the sequence of observations. The hidden Markov modeling focuses on the case where the observation is a probabilistic function of the hidden state. In the classical continuous/discrete Markov process, each state corresponds to an observed (physical) event. The models are very rich in mathematical structures and can form the theoretical basis of many real applications. Statistical models of hidden Markov modeling (HMM) have become increasingly popular in the last several years.
