Variational Bayesian Analysis for Hidden Markov Models
The variational approach to Bayesian inference enables simultaneous estimation of model parameters and model complexity. An interesting feature of this approach is that it appears also to lead to an automatic choice of model complexity. Empirical results from the analysis of hidden Markov models with Gaussian observation densities illustrate this. If the variational algorithm is initialised wit...
متن کاملBayesian inference for Hidden Markov Models
Hidden Markov Models can be considered an extension of mixture models, allowing for dependent observations. In a hierarchical Bayesian framework, we show how Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques can be used to estimate the parameters of a model, as well as the number of regimes. We consider a mixture of normal distributions characterized by different means and variances under eac...
متن کاملBayesian Hidden Markov Models for Financial Data
Hidden Markov Models, also known as Markov Switching Models, can be considered an extension of mixture models, allowing for dependent observations. The main problem associated with Hidden Markov Models is represented by the choice of the number of regimes, i.e. the number of the generating data processes, which differ one from another just for the value of the parameters. Applying a hierarchica...
متن کاملFactorized Asymptotic Bayesian Hidden Markov Models
This paper addresses the issue of model selection for hidden Markov models (HMMs). We generalize factorized asymptotic Bayesian inference (FAB), which has been recently developed for model selection on independent hidden variables (i.e., mixture models), for time-dependent hidden variables. As with FAB in mixture models, FAB for HMMs is derived as an iterative lower bound maximization algorithm...
متن کاملHidden Markov Model for Stock Selection
The hidden Markov model (HMM) is typically used to predict the hidden regimes of observation data. Therefore, this model finds applications in many different areas, such as speech recognition systems, computational molecular biology and financial market predictions. In this paper, we use HMM for stock selection. We first use HMM to make monthly regime predictions for the four macroeconomic vari...
