In LaMa: Fast Numerical Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Latent Markov Models

LaMa 2.1.1 (2026-05-13)

Major changes

• vignettes 1-3 have been updated to work with automatic differentiation

• tpm(), forward(), stateprobs(), viterbi() can now be used with inhomogeneous models: call their inhomogeneous counterparts internally

• function MCreport() has been added for sampling

• from the distribution of the MLE (fixed effects only models)
• from the joint post. distribution of parameters and random effects (random effects models)

Minor changes

• some functions have been renamed, e.g. stationary_cont() -> stationary_ct() (old versions still exist)

• some internal cleanup
