Effect of Number of States in a Hidden Markov Model based classifier


What is the relation between the number of clusters/codebook, number of states in a hidden markov model

How do number of states affect the performance of hidden markov model based classifier?


Solution

  • Generally , If the number of states are not very large, the accuracy will increase with the increase of the number hidden state in classification. If the number of states are large, the accuracy will not increase any more. And the increase of the number of hidden states will lead to more computation.
