Abstract

We consider hidden Markov processes in discrete time with a finite state space X and a general observation or read-out space Y. The identification of the unknown dynamics is carried out by the conditional maximum-likelihood method. The normalized log-likelihood function is shown to satisfy a uniform law of large numbers over certain compact subsets of the parameter space. Two cases are covered: first, when the running value of the transition probability matrix, denoted by Q is positive, second, when Q is primitive, but the read-out densities are strictly positive.
