             HP Probabilistic Model Toolbox for MATLAB   
            Introduction 
            The HP Probabilistic Model Toolbox (PMT) for MATLAB contains a 
            set of MATLAB & C functions one can use to build basic static & 
            dynamic probabilistic models. Current PMT provides support for the 
            following probabilistic models: 
            
              - Gaussian mixtures, 
 
              - Factor analyzers, 
 
              - Markov chains, 
 
              - Hidden Markov models, and 
 
              - Linear dynamic systems. 
 
             
            For each probabilistic model, PMT 
            provides functions for 
            
              - Simulation (sampling from the model) 
 
              - Inference (hidden state estimation) 
 
              - Learning model parameters from data 
 
             
            PMT supports multiple inference methods, both exact and 
            approximate (e.g., winner takes all.)  Model parameters are learned 
            from data using maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). PMT also 
            supports arbitrary distributions of training data.
