Bin data for 2 state model HMM

Hi all,

I am working with the function from HMM peckege [ESTTR,ESTEMIT] = hmmtrain(seq,TRGUESS,EMITGUESS).

Because it is bin data the sequence is not 1 or 2, it is a collection of the data every 10 seconds so the numbers can be between ~0-45.

when I am running the code I got this error message : "Error using hmmdecode (line 113) SEQ must be a vector of integers between 1 and 2"

it possible to run the estimation HMM code with bin data?

Thanks,

Itamar

Hello,

It isn't possible to run with your bin data as the HMM sequence must be 1 and 2 in case of two state model as this is how it was defined. One way to make your bins come to 1 and 2 is to define which all numbers fall in 1 state and which all fall in state 2. That way you could come up with a sequence of 1 and 2 which you could pass.
