The hidden markov model hmm is a statistical model that was first proposed by baum l. Contrary to the other discrete modelling techniques, markov models perform better for unobservable states and transitions, thereby eliminating the need for complete information prior to attack prediction and detection. Suppose there are nthings that can happen, and we are interested in how likely one of them is. How can we reason about a series of states if we cannot observe the states themselves, but rather only some probabilistic function of those states. In other words, we want to uncover the hidden part of the hidden markov model.
