14- Description: Designed for estimating variants of hidden (latent) Markov models
15- (HMMs), mixture HMMs, and non-homogeneous HMMs (NHMMs) for social sequence
16- data and other categorical time series. Special cases include
17- feedback-augmented NHMMs, Markov models without latent layer, mixture Markov
18- models, and latent class models. The package supports
19- models for one or multiple subjects with one or multiple parallel sequences
20- (channels). External covariates can be added to explain cluster membership in
21- mixture models as well as initial, transition and emission probabilities in
22- NHMMs. The package provides functions for evaluating and
23- comparing models, as well as functions for visualizing of multichannel
24- sequence data and HMMs. For NHMMs, methods for computing
25- average causal effects and marginal state and emission probabilities are
26- available. Models are estimated using maximum likelihood via the EM
27- algorithm or direct numerical maximization with analytical gradients.
28- Documentation is available via several vignettes, and Helske and Helske
29- (2019, <doi:10.18637/jss.v088.i03>). For methodology behind the NHMMs,
