Hidden Markov model likelihoods and their derivatives behave like i.i.d. ones

Bickel, Peter J. ; Ritov, Ya'acov and Rydén, Tobias LU (2002) In Annales de l'institut Henri Poincare (B) Probability and Statistics 38(6). p.825-846
Abstract
We consider the log-likelihood function of hidden Markov models, its derivatives and expectations of these (such as different

information functions). We give explicit expressions for these functions and bound them as the size of the chain increases. We

apply our bounds to obtain partial second order asymptotics and some qualitative properties of a special model as well as to

extend some results of Petrie's (1969).
