- delta
initial or stationary distribution of length N, or matrix of dimension c(k,N) for k independent tracks, if trackID is provided
- Gamma
array of transition probability matrices of dimension c(N,N,n-1), as in a time series of length n, there are only n-1 transitions
If an array of dimension c(N,N,n) for a single track is provided, the first slice will be ignored.
If trackID is provided, Gamma needs to be an array of dimension c(N,N,n), where n is the number of rows in allprobs. Then for each track the first transition matrix will be ignored.
- allprobs
matrix of state-dependent probabilities/ density values of dimension c(n, N)
- trackID
optional vector of k track IDs, if multiple tracks need to be decoded separately
- mod
optional model object containing initial distribution delta, transition probability matrix Gamma, matrix of state-dependent probabilities allprobs, and potentially a trackID variable
If you are using automatic differentiation either with RTMB::MakeADFun or qreml and include forward_g in your likelihood function, the objects needed for state decoding are automatically reported after model fitting.
Hence, you can pass the model object obtained from running RTMB::report() or from qreml directly to this function.
