HMM Parameter Estimation Problem

Given: A sequence of emitted symbols x = x1 . . . xn in an alphabet ∑ and a path π = π1 . . . πn generated by a k-state HMM with unknown transition and emission probabilities.

Return: A matrix of transition probabilities Transition and a matrix of emission probabilities Emission that maximize Pr(x,π) over all possible matrices of transition and emission probabilities.
