MendelHMM is a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) tutorial toolbox for Matlab. 
The toolbox is free for academic use.


To run the program you should make following steps: 

1. Download the program to your local PC and install it in a directory like \mendel
2. Run Matlab v. 6.0 or later 
3. Set working directory to ...\mendel (root directory of the toolbox) 
4. Type "mendelHMM" 

When you type "mendelHMM" in Matlab command window the main window of GUI will appear. 
In left part of main window there is a frame containing controls for loading and managing 
training data. On right there is a frame containing controls for managing the 
Hidden Markov model. Button " >Estimate (EM)>" runs estimation of model from 
the selected training set. Baum Welch algorithm is used starting from the 
pre-selected number of states and the initialization method, but any other 
values of hidden parameters are ignored. 
Button "<Sample<" serves for producing new training sets according to selected 
HMM model and sample size.
