Abstract
We propose a multivariate Ornstein–Uhlenbeck observation process governed by a Hidden Markov model, whereas the correlation between the observation processes is assumed. Optimal estimates of the model parameters are obtained by employing EM algorithm. The scope of application of the model are the gasoline prices in the US. We benchmark the dataset against the uncorrelated implementation of the Hidden Markov Model mentioned above and show that the modeling choice of correlated observations leads to better forecasts.
