چکیده

The EM algorithm, e.g., the Baum–Welch re-estimation, is an important tool for parameter estimation in discrete-time hidden Markov models. We present a direct re-estimation of rate constants for applications in which the underlying Markov process is continuous in time. Previous estimation of discrete-time transition probabilities is not necessary.

Estimating rate constants in

The EM algorithm, e.g. as Baum-Welch reestimation, is an important tool for parameter estimation in discrete-time Hidden Markov Models. We present a direct reestimation of rate constants for applications in which the underlying Markov process is continuous in time. Previous estimation of discrete-time transition probabilities is not necessary.

Comparing the Bidirectional Baum-Welch Algorithm and the Baum-Welch Algorithm on Regular Lattice

A profile hidden Markov model (PHMM) is widely used in assigning protein sequences to protein families. In this model, the hidden states only depend on the previous hidden state and observations are independent given hidden states. In other words, in the PHMM, only the information of the left side of a hidden state is considered. However, it makes sense that considering the information of the b...

Theory and Use of the EM Algorithm

This introduction to the expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm provides an intuitive and mathematically rigorous understanding of EM. Two of the most popular applications of EM are described in detail: estimating Gaussian mixture models (GMMs), and estimating hidden Markov models (HMMs). EM solutions are also derived for learning an optimal mixture of fixed models, for estimating the paramete...

IMAGE SEGMENTATION USING GAUSSIAN MIXTURE MODEL

  Stochastic models such as mixture models, graphical models, Markov random fields and hidden Markov models have key role in probabilistic data analysis. In this paper, we have learned Gaussian mixture model to the pixels of an image. The parameters of the model have estimated by EM-algorithm.   In addition pixel labeling corresponded to each pixel of true image is made by Bayes rule. In fact, ...
