Introduction

mixHMM: Clustering and segmentation of heterogeneous curves/time series by mixture of gaussian Hidden Markov Models (MixHMMs) fitted by the EM/Baum-Welch algorithm.

It was written in R Markdown, using the knitr package for production.

See help(package="flamingos") for further details and references provided by citation("flamingos").

Load data

data("toydataset")
Y <- t(toydataset[,2:ncol(toydataset)])

Set up mixHMM model parameters

K <- 3 # Number of clusters
R <- 3 # Number of regimes (HMM states)
variance_type <- "heteroskedastic" # "heteroskedastic" or "homoskedastic" model

Set up EM parameters

ordered_states <- TRUE
n_tries <- 1
max_iter <- 1000
init_kmeans <- TRUE
threshold <- 1e-6
verbose <- TRUE

Estimation

mixhmm <- emMixHMM(Y = Y, K, R, variance_type, ordered_states, init_kmeans, 
                   n_tries, max_iter, threshold, verbose)
