These topics are vitally important to almost every type of statistical analysis, yet these topics are often poorly or incompletely understood. We begin by considering the fundamental […]

Over the last decade, HMMs have become increasingly popular within the ecological community as they allow to uncover behavioural state dynamics from noisy sensor data. For example, a typical HMM-based analysis of say GPS locations […]
