moveHMM version 1.0 turns 10 today 🎉 Such a fun 10 years; exchanging with folks who use the package (and its extensions) has been one of the best parts of my job!

Our review paper on latent Markov models is now published in Statistical Modelling! 🎉 @rolandlangrock.bsky.social @SinaMews.

We discuss choosing the right time and space formulation and provide the R package 📦 LaMa for fast ⚡and flexible estimation.

My paper is out! 🎉 I explore hidden semi-Markov models with covariate-dependent state dwell-time distributions — because sometimes Markov just isn’t enough.

Hidden semi-Markov models with inhomogeneous state dwell-time distributions
The well-established methodology for the estimation of hidden semi-Markov models (HSMMs) as hidden Markov models (HMMs) with extended state spaces is …

Rdatasets is a collection of 2300 free and documented datasets in CSV format. It's a great resource for teaching and exploration!

The new `get_dataset()` function from the {marginaleffects} 📦 allows you to search and load them directly in #Rstats.

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been!

with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

The world is on 🔥 -- and here's my first publication in an astronomy journal: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3...

We combine Gaussian processes + hidden Markov models to efficiently detect stellar flares in one modelling step. 🧪

Could watch this animation all day 😍

Did you know that you can create GIFs with gganimate()? They can even be embedded in a latex PDF file and played via Adobe Acorbat Reader 💥

In this year‘s NFL Big Data Bowl 🏈 submission, @rmichels.bsky.social, Robert Bajons, and I employ hidden Markov models to uncover 🔎guarding assignments and use this additional information to improve the prediction of defensive strategies. 📊

What a year! Bluesky opened its doors just last February. Since then, we opened federation, launched video, rolled out trending topics, and a whole lot more.

Happy New Year, and here’s to a great year ahead! 🎉

Sina Mews, Roland Langrock, and I have updated 🆕 our review paper!
It offers a comprehensive overview on choosing the right time ⏰ and space 📏 formulation for latent Markov models, providing a unifying perspective on discrete- and continuous-time HMMs, SSMs and MMPPs.
