Motivated by Hubert's segmentation procedure [16, 17], we discuss the application of hidden Markov models (HMM) to the segmentation of hydrological and enviromental time series. We use a HMM algorithm which segments time series of several hundred terms in a few seconds and is compu-tationally feasible for even longer time series. The segmentation algorithm computes the Maximum Likelihood segmen...
