I am looking for some simple Mathematica code to model an HMM with just a few states and an equal number of observable signals (emissions). I am hoping to generate sample paths and keep track of the posterior probability of the system being in a given state. Any help would be appreciated.

    $\begingroup$ @Tox If you want to simulate paths this might be useful. $\endgroup$

Mathematica V10 introduced the following two functions:

- HiddenMarkovProcess

- FindHiddenMarkovStates


Examples of their usage can be found here and here.

I've also used HiddenMarkovProcess[] here: Detecting components in timeseries.

Thanks. I also found that there is a package with inbuilt functions, although super pricey, at http://scientificcomputing.blogspot.co.uk/2006/02/statistical-inference-package-for.html
