Conditional Markov regime switching model applied to economic modelling
In this paper we discuss the calibration issues of regime switching models built on mean-reverting and local volatility processes combined with two Markov regime switching processes. In fact, the volatility structure of this model depends on a first exogenous Markov chain whereas the drift structure depends on a conditional Markov chain with respect to the first one. The structure is also assum...
متن کاملThe Infinite Hidden Markov Model
We show that it is possible to extend hidden Markov models to have a countably infinite number of hidden states. By using the theory of Dirichlet processes we can implicitly integrate out the infinitely many transition parameters, leaving only three hyperparameters which can be learned from data. These three hyperparameters define a hierarchical Dirichlet process capable of capturing a rich set...
متن کاملAn Infinite Hidden Markov Model With Similarity-Biased Transitions
We describe a generalization of the Hierarchical Dirichlet Process Hidden Markov Model (HDPHMM) which is able to encode prior information that state transitions are more likely between “nearby” states. This is accomplished by defining a similarity function on the state space and scaling transition probabilities by pairwise similarities, thereby inducing correlations among the transition distrib...
متن کاملThe Block Diagonal Infinite Hidden Markov Model
The Infinite Hidden Markov Model (IHMM) extends hidden Markov models to have a countably infinite number of hidden states (Beal et al., 2002; Teh et al., 2006). We present a generalization of this framework that introduces nearly block-diagonal structure in the transitions between the hidden states, where blocks correspond to “subbehaviors” exhibited by data sequences. In identifying such struc...
متن کاملThe Infinite Factorial Hidden Markov Model
We introduce a new probability distribution over a potentially infinite number of binary Markov chains which we call the Markov Indian buffet process. This process extends the IBP to allow temporal dependencies in the hidden variables. We use this stochastic process to build a nonparametric extension of the factorial hidden Markov model. After constructing an inference scheme which combines sli...
