Has someone implemented Hierarchical Hidden Markov Models in processing before?

I guess, if you cannot find a library in python nor R, there’s little chance that it’s implemented in Processing…

note that if you find a Java library, technically you can use it in Processing. Python libraries cannot be used on Python mode (because the code runs on Jython not Python), but you can perhaps make them communicate through OSC or something…

Hi Micuat,
That forum is very useful, thanks for the link. I’ll go for [GitHub - mattjj/pyhsmm](https://github.com/mattjj/pyhsmm)

You can use regular python libraries with [py5](https://discourse.processing.org/t/new-python-processing-project-py5/30837).
