Constructors

The hmm_batch plugin has two different constructors:

hmm_batch( )
hmm_batch( $<$N$>$, $<$M$>$, $<$B$>$ )

where the first one creates an empty hierarchical general hidden Markov model (it assumes its parameters will be loaded hereafter); and the second one creates a HMM-Batch with $<$N$>$ hidden states, $<$M$>$ observation symbols, whose observation batch size is $<$B$>$, and initializes its parameters with random values, satisfying the stochastic constrains. Each of the $N$ states is associated with a unique integer number, ranging from $0$ to $N-1$, which identifies the state. The observations symbols, emitted by the model, range from $0$ to $M-1$, and each lower-level state, inside a hidden state $S_j$, is associated with one, and only one, symbol.
