Equivalent Definitions of T-indexed Hidden Markov Chains
Wang Ba · Gongcheng shuxue xuebao · 2015
In this paper,we give the definition of tree indexed hidden Markov chain with finite state space based on the concept of hidden Markov model.In our definition,tree indexed hidden Markov chain consists of two tree indexed random processes.The underlying process is a tree indexed Markov chain and can not be observed,and the second process is conditional independent of the former.For the arbitrary vertex in tree,the second process only dependents on the underlying process.Finally,we propose three equivalent definitions.
