Modelling human control behaviour with a Markov-chain switched bank of control laws [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
A probabilistic model of human control behaviour is described. It assumes that human behaviour can be represented by switching among a number of relatively simple behaviours.

Improving the performance of Hierarchical Hidden Markov Models on Information Extraction tasks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This thesis presents novel methods for creating and improving hierarchical hidden Markov models. The work centers around transforming a traditional tree structured hierarchical hidden Markov model (HHMM) into an equivalent model that reuses repeated sub-

Hidden Markov random field and FRAME modelling for TCA-image analysis [PDF]

open access: yes
Tooth Cementum Annulation (TCA) is an age estimation method carried out on thin cross sections of the root of human teeth. Age is computed by adding the tooth eruption age to the count of annual incremental lines that are called tooth rings and appear in

Adaptive hidden Markov model estimation and applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Initially introduced in the late 1960's and early 1970's, hidden Markov models (HMMs) have become increasingly popular in the last decade. The major reason for the increasing popularity of HMMs has been the richness of the model class and the power of ...

Alternative seed trait strategies are linked to a trade‐off between spatial and temporal dispersal

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Seed dispersal allows plants to seek favourable conditions or spread the risk of unfavourable conditions through space and time. While theory predicts a trade‐off between spatial and temporal dispersal, empirical tests have been stymied by the difficulty of measuring ...

Detecting Turning Points with Many Predictors through Hidden Markov Models [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper explores the American business cycle with the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) as a monitoring tool using monthly data. It exhibits ten US time series which offer reliable information to detect recessions in real time.

Mainland diversification and recent island lineages in the reduviid genus Tapirocoris: an integrative taxonomic framework with four new species

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Using an integrative taxonomic framework that combines COI DNA barcodes, geometric morphometrics and phylogeography, we revise the assassin bug genus Tapirocoris and recover seven well‐supported species, including four newly described cryptic species.

Bayesian nonparametric hidden Markov models with application to the analysis of copy-number-variation in mammalian genomes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We consider the development of Bayesian Nonparametric methods for product partition models such as Hidden Markov Models and change point models.

The Evolution of Male Weapons Is Associated with the Type of Breeding Site in a Clade of Neotropical Frogs

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Male weaponry evolution is often linked to male–male competition, but its relationship with breeding site type remains unclear. Using Leptodactylinae frogs, we found a macroevolutionary correlation between breeding site type and weapon evolution. Also, gains and losses of weapons occurred more frequently in exposed‐breeding sites, an unexpected finding.

Artificially intelligent accompaniment using Hidden Markov Models to model musical structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Background in Music Performance and Accompaniment. Musical accompanists may not always be available during practice, or the available accompanist may not have the technical ability necessary.
