Abstract

A method for efficiently calculating marginal, conditional and joint distributions
for change points defined by general finite state Hidden Markov Models is proposed. The distributions
are not subject to any approximation or sampling error once parameters of the model
have been estimated. It is shown that, in contrast to sampling methods, very little computation is
needed. The method provides probabilities associated with change points within an interval, as
well as at specific points.
