The problem of estimating parameters within hidden Markov models is not straightforward. In particular, calculation of maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) is nontrivial. Some variations on MLE are described that are computationally less burdensome, and detailed comparisons are drawn for the case of hidden binary isotropic Markov chains. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
