A gentle tutorial on accelerated parameter and confidence interval estimation for hidden Markov models using Template Model Builder [PDF]
A very common way to estimate the parameters of a hidden Markov model (HMM) is the relatively straightforward computation of maximum likelihood (ML) estimates. For this task, most users rely on user-friendly implementation of the estimation routines via an interpreted programming language such as the statistical software environment R (R Core Team ...

Adaptive data collection for intra-individual studies affected by adherence [PDF]
Recently the use of mobile technologies in Ecological Momentary Assessments (EMA) and Interventions (EMI) has made it easier to collect data suitable for intra-individual variability studies in the medical field. Nevertheless, especially when self-reports are used during the data collection process, there are difficulties in balancing data quality and ...
