Hidden Markov Models for Time Series: An Introduction Using R

Hidden Markov Models for Time Series: An Introduction Using R

Walter Zucchini
3.8/5 ( ratings)
Reveals How HMMs Can Be Used as General-Purpose Time Series Models

Implements all methods in R
Hidden Markov Models for Time Series: An Introduction Using R applies hidden Markov models to a wide range of time series types, from continuous-valued, circular, and multivariate series to binary data, bounded and unbounded counts, and categorical observations. It also discusses how to employ the freely available computing environment R to carry out computations for parameter estimation, model selection and checking, decoding, and forecasting.

Illustrates the methodology in action
After presenting the simple Poisson HMM, the book covers estimation, forecasting, decoding, prediction, model selection, and Bayesian inference. Through examples and applications, the authors describe how to extend and generalize the basic model so it can be applied in a rich variety of situations. They also provide R code for some of the examples, enabling the use of the codes in similar applications.

Effectively interpret data using HMMs
This book illustrates the wonderful flexibility of HMMs as general-purpose models for time series data. It provides a broad understanding of the models and their uses.
