7. Find out which observations are representative <strong>for</strong> each cluster.<br />

8. Access the goodness <strong>of</strong> fit <strong>of</strong> the model using the entropy criterion, the<br />

unconditional covariance matrix and the in<strong>for</strong>mation criterions.<br />

9. Compare the two different methods in terms <strong>of</strong> the computational efficiency and<br />

the goodness <strong>of</strong> fit.<br />

10. Usage <strong>of</strong> the model in the field <strong>of</strong> Agriculture.<br />

In Chapter 2 and 3 details about Hidden Markov <strong>models</strong> are provided, with examples<br />

<strong>for</strong> the univariate case. The <strong>multivariate</strong> Poisson distribution, the calculation <strong>of</strong><br />

probabilities and the <strong>multivariate</strong> Poisson finite mixture and the <strong>multivariate</strong> Poisson<br />

<strong>hidden</strong> Markov model estimation are discussed in Chapter 5.<br />
