Minimax adaptive estimation in nonparametric Hidden Markov Models

Minimax adaptive estimation in nonparametric Hidden Markov Models
In this talk, we review some recents results on nonparametric HMMs. We present and discuss the performances of the spectral estimator and the empirical least squares estimator in the nonparametric framework. In particular, this latter achieves minimax adaptive estimation of the emission laws (i.e. the conditional marginal distributions of the observations given the hidden states).
