Respected Sir,
           I am working on Hidden Markov Models for count data. My data
consist of number of new infectives
in a ward per month. I have data for about 50 months. How can I fit a Hidden
Markon Model to my data.
I am using 'repeated' package('hidden' and 'chidden' arguments). I would
like to know how can I estimate
the initial values of the parameters(mu and pgamma). I have a 27 state
Markov Chain.Can you tell me a standard
 book on HMM which have the corresponding R codes.
   I will be grateful for the help extended.
Thanking You,
Yours Faithfully,
Regina
