Theoretical Foundations and Application of Hidden Markov Models

Résumé

Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are effective statistical techniques used to uncover underlying patterns in observable sequential data This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the theoretical foundations of HMMs, including key algorithms essential for their implementation, such as the Expectation-Maximization algorithm, the Baum-Welch algorithm, and the Viterbi algorithm. An application of HMMs to assess the likelihood of misclassification in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stages is discussed, providing insights into the disease's natural progression and informing better treatment strategies. In the case study, we conducted an analysis of the S&P 500 index dataset spanning from January 4, 2000, to September 20, 2019. This analysis, similar to Lihn's study but with an extended period, evaluates the robustness and consistency of regime identification through HMMs, offering deeper insights into market behavior over nearly two decades. HMMs identify different market regimes, revealing the underlying dynamics of bull and bear markets. The study demonstrates the superiority of a five-state HMM model in capturing market behaviors, thereby aiding in volatility forecasting. This study underscores the significance of HMMs in various domains, highlighting their ability to effectively model complex systems with hidden states. "It is a useful tool for those looking to explore and utilize HMMs across various disciplines, pushing the boundaries of statistical modeling and analysis.
