Interface HMM

All Known Implementing Classes:

SenoneHMM

public interface HMM

Represents a hidden-markov-model. An HMM consists of a unit (context dependent or independent), a transition matrix from state to state, and a sequence of senones associated with each state. This representation of an HMM is a specialized left-to-right markov model. No backward transitions are allowed.

Method Summary

Unit	getBaseUnit() Gets the base unit associated with this HMM
HMMState	getInitialState() Gets the initial states (with probabilities) for this HMM
int	getOrder() Returns the order of the HMM
HMMPosition	getPosition() Retrieves the position of this HMM.
HMMState	getState(int which) Retrieves the hmm state
Unit	getUnit() Gets the unit associated with this HMM
