Predicting future states in hidden Markov models -- use the Viterbi algorithm?
The Viterbi algorithm is used to decode hidden states in hidden Markov models (HMMs) by working out which sequence of states is most likely. To do this, it first identifies which state $j \in \{1, ...,...

Efficiency of Viterbi Algorithm
Considering that we have a sequence of observed states $\{y_1, y_2, \dots, y_T \}$ of length $T$.
We want to generate a path $\{x_1, x_2, \dots, x_T\}$, which is a sequence of states $x_n \in S = \{...
