hmstem is an R package for estimating hierarchical models using the stochastic EM algorithm.

Major Features

  • fast speed. Due to the existence of many latent variables, hmstem is much quicker than commonly implemented numerical integration methods.

  • general algorithm which is able to handle a group of models.

  • written concisely in pure R.
