less time compared to the <strong>multivariate</strong> finite mixture model even though <strong>hidden</strong> Markov<br />

<strong>models</strong> have more parameters to be estimated. This is due to the computational<br />

procedures involved in these two <strong>models</strong>.<br />

There<strong>for</strong>e, in terms <strong>of</strong> computational efficiency it can be concluded that <strong>for</strong> small<br />

sample sizes, two <strong>models</strong>, (a) and (b) have same computational efficiency and <strong>for</strong> large<br />

sample sizes, the <strong>multivariate</strong> Poisson <strong>hidden</strong> Markov model is more efficient compared<br />

to the <strong>multivariate</strong> Poisson finite mixture model.<br />
