Abstract
Conditional density estimation is very important in financial engineer, risk management, and other engineering computing problem.
However, most regression models have a latent assumption that the probability density is a Gaussian distribution, which is
not necessarily true in many real life applications. In this paper, we give a framework to estimate or predict the conditional
density mixture dynamically. Through combining the Input-Output HMM with SVM regression together and building a SVM model
in each state of the HMM, we can estimate a conditional density mixture instead of a single gaussian. With each SVM in each
node, this model can be applied for not only regression but classifications as well. We applied this model to denoise the
ECG data. The proposed method has the potential to apply to other time series such as stock market return predictions.
