序列数据的混合隐马尔可夫模型:R中的seqHMM包

Mixture Hidden Markov Models for Sequence Data: The seqHMM Package in R

Satu Helske, Jouni Helske

摘要:

序列分析正越来越广泛地应用于社会序列和其他多元分类时间序列数据的分析。然而,描述、可视化和比较大型序列数据通常是复杂的,尤其是当每个受试者有多个平行序列时。隐马尔可夫模型(HHMF)能够检测潜在的潜在结构,并且它们可以用于各种纵向设置中:考虑测量误差,检测不可观测的状态,或者压缩跨几种类型的观测的信息。扩展到混合隐马尔可夫模型(MHALGOT)允许聚类数据到同质子集,有或没有外部协变量。R中的seqHMM包设计用于使用HHMM和MHMM对序列和其他分类时间序列数据进行有效建模,这些数据包含一个或多个主题,具有一个或多个相互依赖的序列。也可以拟合MHMM的其他受限变体,例如,潜在类模型、马尔可夫模型、混合马尔可夫模型、或甚至具有HMM的适当参数化的普通多项式回归模型。在从第一眼看到数据到模型拟合和结果呈现的整个分析过程中,数据和模型的良好图形化呈现非常有用。该软件包提供了绘制并行序列数据的简单选项,并建议将HPLOS可视化为有向图。

英文摘要:

Sequence analysis is being more and more widely used for the analysis of social sequences and other multivariate categorical time series data. However, it is often complex to describe, visualize, and compare large sequence data, especially when there are multiple parallel sequences per subject. Hidden (latent) Markov models (HMMs) are able to detect underlying latent structures and they can be used in various longitudinal settings: to account for measurement error, to detect unobservable states, or to compress information across several types of observations. Extending to mixture hidden Markov models (MHMMs) allows clustering data into homogeneous subsets, with or without external covariates. The seqHMM package in R is designed for the efficient modeling of sequences and other categorical time series data containing one or multiple subjects with one or multiple interdependent sequences using HMMs and MHMMs. Also other restricted variants of the MHMM can be fitted, e.g., latent class models, Markov models, mixture Markov models, or even ordinary multinomial regression models with suitable parameterization of the HMM. Good graphical presentations of data and models are useful during the whole analysis process from the first glimpse at the data to model fitting and presentation of results. The package provides easy options for plotting parallel sequence data, and proposes visualizing HMMs as directed graphs.
