R: Emission density function for normal emission distribution
dnorm.hsmm
R Documentation
Emission density function for normal emission distribution
Description
Calculates the density of observations x for state j given the parameters in model. This is used for
the Gaussian emission distribution of a HMM or HSMM and is a suitable prototype for user's to make their own custom distributions.
Usage
dnorm.hsmm(x, j, model)
Arguments
x
Observed value
j
State
model
A hsmmspec or hmmspec object
Details
This is used by hmm and hsmm to calculate densities for use in the E-step of the EM algorithm.
It can also be used as a template for users wishing to building their own emission distributions
