Also the calculations <strong>of</strong> the <strong>multivariate</strong> Poisson probabilities <strong>of</strong> higher dimensions<br />

(four or more) can be carefully studied and programmed <strong>for</strong> further research <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>hidden</strong> Markov model.<br />

Even though our model provides overall positive and negative correlation <strong>of</strong> the<br />

variables (in this case, species) it is not able to provide the negative interdependence<br />

within the components. There<strong>for</strong>e, one can study further about this area <strong>for</strong> Poisson<br />

count variables.<br />

The <strong>models</strong> presented in this thesis do not include any other covariates. The covariates<br />

may help us to explain the differences between the distributions <strong>of</strong> the component. The<br />

above issue is high on the list <strong>of</strong> topics <strong>for</strong> further research.<br />
