R: Emission density function for normal emission distribution

dnorm.hsmm {mhsmm} | R Documentation

## Emission density function for normal emission distribution

### Description

Calculates the density of observations `x` for state `j` given the parameters in `model`. This is used for the Gaussian emission distribution of a HMM or HSMM and is a suitable prototype for user's to make their own custom distributions.

### Usage

    dnorm.hsmm(x, j, model)

### Arguments

`x` | Observed value
`j` | State
`model` | A `hsmmspec` or `hmmspec` object

### Details

This is used by `hmm` and `hsmm` to calculate densities for use in the E-step of the EM algorithm. It can also be used as a template for users wishing to building their own emission distributions

### Value

A vector of probability densities.
