…ion base
Phase B — Concepts and distribution interface:
- Add include/libhmm/distributions/basic_emission_distribution.h:
template<typename Obs = double> class BasicEmissionDistribution with
obs_param_t (by-value for scalars, const-ref otherwise), full virtual
interface, and pure-virtual clone()
- Add include/libhmm/distributions/emission_concepts.h:
EmissionDistributionFor<D,Obs> and ScalarEmission<D> C++20 concepts
replacing the SFINAE helpers in distribution_traits.h
- Rewrite emission_distribution.h as a v3 compatibility header:
using EmissionDistribution = BasicEmissionDistribution<double>
- distribution_traits.h: add backward-compat notice pointing to
emission_concepts.h
Phase C — CRTP distribution base:
- Rewrite distribution_base.h:
- DistributionMathHelper: non-template concrete class; math helper
definitions (gammap, gcf, gser, errorf_inv) stay in the .cpp,
compiled once regardless of template instantiation count
- DistributionBase<Derived, Obs = double>: CRTP template inheriting
BasicEmissionDistribution<Obs> + DistributionMathHelper; provides
Rule of Five (atomic cache flag), CRTP clone(), and default
getBatchLogProbabilities() scalar loop
- distribution_base.cpp: scope all definitions to DistributionMathHelper;
remove Rule of Five and getBatchLogProbabilities (now inline in header)
- All 16 distribution headers: DistributionBase -> DistributionBase<Derived>
- DiscreteDistribution: fix constructor initializer to
DistributionBase<DiscreteDistribution>{}
Scalar path is zero-overhead: BasicEmissionDistribution<double> carries
identical virtual signatures to v3's EmissionDistribution. All existing
code compiles unchanged through the type alias.
All 41 tests pass.

- Add include/libhmm/basic_hmm.h:
template<typename Obs = double> class BasicHmm
- emis_ typed as vector<unique_ptr<BasicEmissionDistribution<Obs>>>
- initializeMatrices() creates default GaussianDistribution only for
Obs = double (if constexpr); non-scalar HMMs require explicit
setDistribution() calls
- setDistribution() / getDistribution() use BasicEmissionDistribution<Obs>
- All constructors, validate(), setTrans(), setPi() preserved unchanged
- Non-copyable, movable; virtual destructor for inheritance
- friend operator>> removed (uses only public interface)
- Rewrite include/libhmm/hmm.h as v3 compatibility header:
using Hmm = BasicHmm<double>
Declares operator<< and operator>> for Hmm
src/hmm.cpp needs zero changes
Scalar path is zero-overhead: BasicHmm<double> identical to v3 Hmm.
All downstream code compiles unchanged through the alias. 41/41 tests pass.

Merge origin/main (v3.8.0) into feature/v4-multivariate-emissions. Conflict resolution: - CMakeLists.txt: kept VERSION 4.0.0 (v4 wins) - emission_distribution.h: kept v4 type alias; sample() note added - distribution_base.h: kept v4 DistributionMathHelper + DistributionBase<Derived,Obs> ADDED incompleteBeta() to DistributionMathHelper (from v3.8.0 promotion) - distribution_base.cpp: ADDED DistributionMathHelper::incompleteBeta() Additional integration: - basic_emission_distribution.h: added #include <random> and sample(std::mt19937_64&) pure virtual to BasicEmissionDistribution<Obs> (auto-merged sample() declarations on all 16 distribution headers required this to be in the base class) All 42 tests pass (includes v3.8.0 fitting validation and math helper accuracy tests now in the v4 branch).

include/libhmm/linalg/linalg_types.h:
- Add #include <cstddef> and <span>
- ObservationVectorView = std::span<const double>
Non-owning, zero-cost view of one D-dimensional observation row.
Used as Obs in BasicHmm<ObservationVectorView> = HmmMV.
- ObservationMatrix = BasicMatrix<double>
Row-major T x D matrix: row t is the observation at time t.
- MultiObservationLists = std::vector<ObservationMatrix>
One matrix per training sequence.
- row_view(const ObservationMatrix&, size_t t) -> ObservationVectorView
Zero-cost helper returning a span view of row t; used by Phase H
calculators when filling the log-emission buffer.
include/libhmm/hmm.h:
- HmmMV = BasicHmm<ObservationVectorView>
First multivariate HMM alias. Emission slots are null on construction
(if constexpr scalar guard skips Gaussian defaults for non-double Obs);
setDistribution() required before use.
All 42 tests pass. No changes to existing scalar path.

New files:
include/libhmm/linalg/cholesky.h -- public API
src/linalg/cholesky.cpp -- implementation
tests/linalg/test_cholesky.cpp -- 14 tests with exact reference values
API (libhmm::chol namespace):
factorize(A) Cholesky-Banachiewicz A = L*L^T; returns CholeskyResult
log_det(L) log(det(A)) = 2 * sum_i log(L[i,i])
solve_lower(L, b) forward substitution: solve L*x = b
inv_quad_form(L, x) x^T * A^{-1} * x = ||L^{-1}*x||^2
All functions accept std::span<const double> directly (compatible with
ObservationVectorView). No Eigen or BLAS dependency.
All 43 tests pass.

New distributions (all Obs=ObservationVectorView=std::span<const double>):
IndependentComponentsDistribution
- Holds D independent scalar EmissionDistribution components
- log p(x) = sum_d component[d].getLogProbability(x[d])
- Default: D GaussianDistribution(0,1) components
- Weighted fit: extracts per-dimension data; fits each component
- Custom copy ctor for CRTP clone() (deep-copies via clone())
- sample_mv() draws from each component independently
DiagonalGaussianDistribution
- Per-dimension mu_d, var_d (no cross-correlations modelled)
- log p(x) = -D/2*log(2pi) - 0.5*sum(log_var_d + (x_d-mu_d)^2/var_d)
- Weighted MLE per dimension; variance clamped to 1e-6
- sample_mv() draws N(mu_d, var_d) per dimension
- getNumParameters(): 2*D
FullCovarianceGaussianDistribution
- Full D*D covariance; uses Phase F Cholesky helpers
- log p(x) = -D/2*log(2pi) - log_det(L)/2 - inv_quad_form(L, x-mu)/2
- Weighted MLE: builds sample covariance, regularises (+reg*I), factorises
- On factorization failure: keeps current parameters
- sample_mv(): x = mu + L*z, z ~ N(0,I)
- getNumParameters(): D + D*(D+1)/2
All three:
- scalar sample() throws std::logic_error (use sample_mv())
- to_json() emits type tag (full schema deferred to Phase I)
- Registered in distributions.h, CMakeLists.txt, libhmm.h
Documentation / count fixes:
- distributions.h: DISTRIBUTION_COUNT 16->19, add MULTIVARIATE_DISTRIBUTION_COUNT=3,
update 3-term static_assert, add full distribution catalogue to Doxygen
- libhmm.h: update 'Core Classes' and distribution count
- distribution_base.h: remove stale '16 distributions' comment
- test_distributions_header.cpp: fix CompileTimeConstants test,
add MultivariateDistributionsAvailable test
All 44 tests pass.

…plate bases
Foundation of Phase H: parameterised calculator and trainer bases with
by-reference observation list storage.
New headers:
include/libhmm/calculators/basic_calculator.h
- BasicCalculator<Obs> template: holds const BasicHmm<Obs>& and SeqType
- precompute_log_transitions works on BasicHmm<Obs>
include/libhmm/training/basic_trainer.h
- BasicTrainer<Obs> template: holds BasicHmm<Obs>& and const ListType&
- v4 breaking change: obs list is now by const reference (not copied)
- Deleted ListType&& constructor prevents dangling references at compile time
- apply_emission_fits protected static for scalar M-step
linalg_types.h: added ObsSeqTraits<Obs> specialisations for double and
ObservationVectorView (SeqType, ListType, sequence_length())
Alias headers (updated):
calculator.h → using Calculator = BasicCalculator<double>
trainer.h → using Trainer = BasicTrainer<double>
All existing concrete trainers/calculators derive from the aliases and
compile unchanged except for:
- Hmm* constructors: now dereference pointer directly (no longer chain
through a Trainer(Hmm*,...) overload which no longer exists)
- obsLists_ references: replaced with getObservationLists() throughout
- SegmentalKMeansTrainer Hmm* ctor: updated in header (inline)
Tests updated: four map_baum_welch tests were passing temporaries to
trainer constructors — fixed to use named variables.
All 44 tests pass.

…eference
Consistent with BasicTrainer<Obs>: both bases now hold their data
by non-owning const reference rather than by value.
Changes:
include/libhmm/calculators/basic_calculator.h:
- SeqType observations_ -> std::reference_wrapper<const SeqType> obsRef_
- setObservations() rebinds the reference via std::cref()
- Deleted SeqType&& constructor prevents passing temporaries (UB guard)
consistent with the same guard on BasicTrainer<Obs>
src/calculators/forward_backward_calculator.cpp + viterbi_calculator.cpp:
- observations_.xxx -> getObservations().xxx throughout
No callers in examples/tests/benchmarks pass temporaries to calculator
constructors (all use named loop variables), so no call-site changes needed.
All 44 tests pass.

…aumWelchTrainer<Obs> templates Introduce parameterised Forward-Backward calculator and Baum-Welch trainer supporting both scalar (Obs=double) and multivariate (Obs=ObservationVectorView) observation types via explicit template instantiation. BasicForwardBackwardCalculator<Obs>: - Inherits BasicCalculator<Obs>; full method definitions in header. - Scalar path: getBatchLogProbabilities() per state (SIMD-accelerated per distribution). - MV path: getLogProbability(row_view(obs, t)) per (state, timestep) pair. - Exposes getLogEmitByTime() so BaumWelchTrainer reuses the emission buffer. - ForwardBackwardCalculator remains a type alias for backward compatibility. BasicBaumWelchTrainer<Obs>: - Inherits BasicTrainer<Obs>; full method definitions in header. - Scalar path: accumulates (observation_value, gamma) per state; calls scalar fit(). - MV path: accumulates non-owning ObservationVectorView row spans; zero data copy. - Reuses FBC log-emission buffer for xi accumulation (avoids second emission pass). - BaumWelchTrainer remains a type alias for backward compatibility. Both scalar and MV explicit-instantiation TUs compiled with LIBHMM_BEST_SIMD_FLAGS. All 44 tests pass. Co-Authored-By: Oz <[email protected]>
…iner, kmeans_init Complete Phase H by templating the remaining calculator and trainers, and adding a k-means initialisation utility for multivariate HMMs. BasicViterbiCalculator<Obs>: - if constexpr emit fill (scalar: getBatchLogProbabilities; MV: per-row getLogProbability). - runViterbi/backtrack are observation-type-independent (work on logEmitByTime buffer). - ViterbiCalculator alias preserved for backward compatibility. BasicMapBaumWelchTrainer<Obs>: - Dirichlet priors on π and A; Dirichlet emission smoothing for discrete distributions on the scalar path only (MV emissions are always continuous). - computeLogPrior() uses if constexpr to skip the discrete emission term on MV path. - MapBaumWelchTrainer alias preserved; both TUs compiled with LIBHMM_BEST_SIMD_FLAGS (accumulate_exp_sum2_bias). BasicViterbiTrainer<Obs>: - Hard-assignment EM; scalar path accumulates scalar values, MV path accumulates non-owning ObservationVectorView spans (zero copy). - TrainingConfig struct and training_presets::fast/balanced/precise() are inline in the header so they are available without a separate TU. - ViterbiTrainer alias preserved. kmeans_init: - Lloyd's algorithm with k-means++ seeding on all observation vectors (sequence order ignored). - Assigns cluster k to state k and calls fit(span<const ObservationVectorView>) on each state's emission distribution. - Provides the standard pre-Baum-Welch initialisation step for MV Gaussian HMMs, replacing the role SegmentalKMeans plays for discrete HMMs. - Not in LIBHMM_SIMD_SOURCES (no SIMD kernels needed). SegmentalKMeansTrainer stays scalar/discrete-only (unchanged). All 44 tests pass. Co-Authored-By: Oz <[email protected]>
Address all cyclomatic complexity violations identified by lizard (CCN > 10) in Phase H template headers and kmeans_init. Changes per file: basic_baum_welch_trainer.h: - Add EmisElem/EmisAccumType conditional_t aliases (adapts to double or ObservationVectorView for each specialisation). - Extract accum_one_sequence() private static: runs FBC, accumulates gamma/xi for one sequence; uses if constexpr for obs value/view access. - train() calls precompute_log_trans_flat (new BasicTrainer helper) and accum_one_sequence in a plain loop; emis M-step dispatches via EmisElem. train() CCN: 27 → 9. basic_map_baum_welch_trainer.h: - Same EmisElem/EmisAccumType + accum_one_sequence pattern. - Extract discrete_emission_log_prior() helper (if constexpr guard so MV instantiation compiles cleanly; returns 0.0 on MV path). - Extract apply_discrete_smoothing(): encapsulates c==0 and isDiscrete() guards, reducing train() call site to a single unconditional call. - computeLogPrior() CCN: 12 → 7. train() CCN: 32 → 10. basic_viterbi_trainer.h: - Add EmisElem/EmisAccumType aliases. - Extract process_one_sequence() private static: runs ViterbiCalculator, accumulates pi/trans/emis via if constexpr; noexcept + catch-all. - runIteration() is now a plain loop over sequences. runIteration() CCN: 18 → 7. kmeans_init.cpp: - Extract seed_kmeanspp(), lloyd_assign(), lloyd_update(), fit_clusters() into anonymous namespace helpers. - kmeans_init() becomes a thin orchestrator. kmeans_init() CCN: 31 → 5. basic_trainer.h: - Add precompute_log_trans_flat() protected static: builds column-major flat logTransT vector; shared by BaumWelchTrainer and MapBaumWelchTrainer, removing duplicate logTransT precomputation loops from both train() bodies. Zero warnings. All 44 tests pass. Co-Authored-By: Oz <[email protected]>
… headers Naming conventions: - Rename fill_log_emissions() -> fillLogEmissions() in BasicForwardBackwardCalculator and BasicViterbiCalculator; non-static private methods follow camelCase (matching precomputeLogTransitions, computeLogForward, runViterbi, etc.). Static helpers retain snake_case. [[nodiscard]]: - accum_one_sequence() in BasicBaumWelchTrainer and BasicMapBaumWelchTrainer (returns bool — ignored result is a silent logic error). - discrete_emission_log_prior() in BasicMapBaumWelchTrainer (returns double). - process_one_sequence() in BasicViterbiTrainer (returns double). Documentation: - TrainingConfig fields annotated with inline /// comments explaining each field's role. - getConfig() / setConfig() given @brief Doxygen comments. - precompute_log_trans_flat() converted from block comment to Doxygen with @param[out] annotations. - fillLogEmissions() declarations upgraded to Doxygen style.

Full to_json/from_json round-trip support for HmmMV and all three MV
emission distributions.
BasicEmissionDistribution:
- Add getDimension() virtual (default 1 for scalar; MV distributions
override to return D). Enables to_json(HmmMV) to query D without
downcasting.
DiagonalGaussianDistribution:
- Full to_json(): {"type":"DiagonalGaussian","dim":D,"mean":[...],"var":[...]}
- from_json(Reader&): reads dim, mean, var arrays; clamps var to kMinVar.
FullCovarianceGaussianDistribution:
- Full to_json(): includes dim, reg, mean vector, and full D×D cov matrix.
- from_json(Reader&): reads dim, reg, mean, cov; reconstructs distribution.
- Extract compute_mean, compute_cov, compute_weighted_mean, compute_weighted_cov
helpers (pre-existing fit() methods had CCN 11/12; now CCN 2 each).
IndependentComponentsDistribution:
- Full to_json(): embeds each component's to_json() in a "components" array.
- from_json handled in hmm_json.cpp (needs scalar kFactory for components).
hmm_json.h / hmm_json.cpp:
- Add to_json(HmmMV), from_json_mv, save_json_mv, load_json_mv.
- MV schema: {"libhmm_version":"4","obs_type":"multivariate","dimensions":D,
"states":N,"pi":[...],"trans":[[...]],"distributions":[...]}
- Safety limits: kMaxMvDimensions=1024 guards covariance matrix allocation.
- Refactor scalar from_json with checked_size helper, read_distribution_array,
and build_hmm (mirrors MV equivalents); scalar from_json CCN: 14 → 4.
- from_json_mv CCN: 8; all MV helpers individually CCN ≤ 10.
All 44 tests pass. Zero warnings. Zero CCN violations.

…st suite
Phase J — model selection for MV distributions:
- count_free_parameters() promoted from concrete Hmm-only function to an
inline template on BasicHmm<Obs>, covering both scalar and MV HMMs.
Existing scalar call sites unchanged; the old .cpp definition removed.
- New tests in test_model_selection.cpp:
IndependentComponents(D): D × GaussianDistribution(2) = 2D params
DiagonalGaussian(D): 2D params (D means + D variances)
FullCovarianceGaussian(D): D + D(D+1)/2 params
count_free_parameters(HmmMV): 2-state D=2 DiagGaussian → 11 params
Phase K — three new test binaries:
test_mv_calculator (calculators/test_mv_calculator.cpp):
BasicForwardBackwardCalculator<ObservationVectorView>:
finite/negative logP, T×N matrix dims, decodePosterior length,
decodePosterior valid states, recompute with new obs, getNumStates.
BasicViterbiCalculator<ObservationVectorView>:
sequence length, valid states, finite/negative logP, state preference
when one cluster is far away, empty obs throws, getNumStates.
FBC vs Viterbi: Viterbi logP ≤ FBC logP.
test_mv_training (training/test_mv_training.cpp):
BasicBaumWelchTrainer<OVV>: likelihood non-decreasing (5 iters),
runs on single sequence, empty list throws.
BasicViterbiTrainer<OVV>: runs without error, converges or hits maxIter.
BasicMapBaumWelchTrainer<OVV>: runs without error, c=0 gives same
result as plain BWT, computeLogPrior returns finite negative value.
kmeans_init: runs without error, dimensions valid after init,
improves logP over default init, empty data throws,
single-cluster data does not crash.
test_hmm_json_mv (io/test_hmm_json_mv.cpp):
Schema presence: libhmm_version, obs_type, dimensions in output JSON.
DiagonalGaussian round-trip: N states, pi, trans, and exact mean/var.
FullCovarianceGaussian round-trip: type, dim, mean, cov (default Σ=I).
IndependentComponents round-trip: type, dim, component types preserved.
File save/load: DiagGaussian HmmMV survives save_json_mv/load_json_mv.
Error cases: scalar schema rejected, wrong obs_type, unknown dist type,
missing version, oversized input.
Backward compat: scalar from_json unaffected.
All 47 tests pass (was 44).

…audit, mv_gaussian_example Tier 1 — Documentation: - CHANGELOG.md: prepend comprehensive v4.0.0 entry (A–I phases, platform, code quality, new tests, new examples). - MIGRATION.md (new): v3→v4 upgrade guide — platform minimums, CRTP change, Hmm alias impact, JSON IO schema, new MV features, fork policy for older compiler support (v3.8.0 as fork baseline). - CONTRIBUTING.md (new): toolchain policy (PR policy for older compilers, load-bearing rationale), code standards (CCN ≤ 10, Doxygen, noexcept, [[nodiscard]], naming), PR submission checklist. - libhmm.h: @Version 3.7.0 → 4.0.0. - README.md: badges (3.8.0 → 4.0.0, 42/42 → 47/47), remove forward-looking roadmap note (v4 is now here), add MV example to table, add Multivariate HMM usage snippet, update requirements (GCC 11+ → 12+, add macOS 13+), add MIGRATION.md reference. Tier 2 — Example: - examples/mv_gaussian_example.cpp (new): self-contained 2D DiagonalGaussian HMM demonstration. Generates synthetic two-cluster data, runs kmeans_init, trains with BaumWelchTrainer<ObservationVectorView>, scores and decodes a test sequence, saves and reloads with save_json_mv/load_json_mv.

…me_example Add missing setter methods to all three MV emission distributions: - DiagonalGaussianDistribution: setParameters(means, vars), setMeans(), setVariances() - FullCovarianceGaussianDistribution: setMean(), setCovariance(), setParameters() - IndependentComponentsDistribution: setComponent(d, ptr) Consistent with the univariate setter pattern across the library. Fix elk_mv_example.cpp: - Replace broken FullCovGaussian Model B (bad kmeans init, invalid BIC comparison) with Model B = DiagonalGaussian and Model C = FullCovGaussian on (log-step, angle) - Both B and C use explicit biological priors via new setters - BIC comparison now valid (same observation space); Model B wins as expected (within-state log-step/angle correlation ≈ 0 for this dataset) - Model A remains as v4 MV API validation baseline; LL not compared to B/C Add examples/mv_regime_example.cpp: - 3-state market regime HMM on 240 embedded synthetic two-sector returns - DiagonalGaussian vs FullCovarianceGaussian; ground truth rho = 0.60/0.76/0.85 - FullCovGaussian wins on BIC (confirmed); no external data required - Data generation script: scripts/gen_regime_data.R (seed 2024) Replace outdated Considerations_Future_Distribution_Performance_Optimizations.md with concise Future_Performance_Work.md reflecting current codebase reality. All 47 tests pass. Co-Authored-By: Oz <[email protected]>
…me_example MV distribution API completions: - DiagonalGaussianDistribution: setParameters(means, vars), setMeans(), setVariances() - FullCovarianceGaussianDistribution: setMean(), setCovariance(), setParameters() (setCovariance/setParameters implemented in .cpp — use anonymous-namespace Cholesky helper) - IndependentComponentsDistribution: setComponent(d, unique_ptr) All follow the existing univariate setter pattern: validate, assign, invalidateCache(). Register mv_regime_example in CMakeLists.txt and install list. Update examples/README.md: elk_mv_example entry reflects 3-model structure. Remove Considerations_Future_Distribution_Performance_Optimizations.md (replaced by docs/Future_Performance_Work.md in the previous commit). All 47 tests pass. Co-Authored-By: Oz <[email protected]>
…mparison Real-data support: - scripts/prepare_mv_regime_data.R downloads SPY + QQQ monthly log-returns (2000-2022) via quantmod; writes /tmp/spy_qqq_monthly.csv - mv_regime_example.cpp: try_load_csv() loads the CSV if present; falls back to embedded synthetic data silently (no network dependency for standalone use) - Initialisation parameters updated to span both dataset scales hmmlearn reference (scripts/verify_mv_regime.py): - Fits 3-state GaussianHMM with covariance_type='diag' and 'full' over 20 random restarts each for a fair best-of-N comparison - On SPY+QQQ: Model B (full) LL = -1418.49 in both libhmm and hmmlearn (exact agreement); Model A (diag) differs by ~4 nats due to hmmlearn's random restarts finding a different local optimum - Fixed diagonal covariance extraction: hmmlearn 0.3+ stores covars_ as full (n,n) matrices for all types; use np.diag() not ravel() for diag case Real-data results (SPY+QQQ, 275 obs): Model A Diagonal BIC = 3214 Model B Full BIC = 2963 Δ BIC = 251 Within-state correlation: bull rho=0.87, bear rho=0.92, crisis rho=0.83 All 47 tests pass.

…HMM comparison Remove Models B and C (DiagonalGaussian, FullCovGaussian) from elk_mv_example. The example now has a single clear purpose: validate the v4 MV API's IndependentComponentsDistribution path against the moveHMM R reference. The output explicitly justifies the independence assumption with the empirical within-state correlation (r = -0.05 to -0.08 -- indistinguishable from zero) and cross-references mv_regime_example.cpp for the covariance comparison on data where within-state correlation is genuinely strong (SPY+QQQ, rho=0.83-0.92). Results: parameters match moveHMM to <1% on all metrics; LL = -6884.2 vs moveHMM -6935.6 (difference explained by zero-step mass parameter). Update README to reflect the revised single-model structure. All 47 tests pass. Co-Authored-By: Oz <[email protected]>
Fix performance issue: DiagonalGaussianDistribution::setParameters and setVariances passed 'variances' by value but never moved it; change to const std::vector<double>& (means is still by value since it is moved). Add 11 setter tests to test_multivariate_distributions covering: DiagonalGaussian: setParameters, setMeans, setVariances FullCovarianceGaussian: setMean, setCovariance (+ dimension mismatch throws) IndependentComponents: setComponent (success, out-of-range, null) The setCovariance test tolerates the 1e-5 regularisation stored on diagonal, consistent with fit() behaviour. Update CHANGELOG with new examples/scripts, setter API, const-ref fix, and the expanded test count. All 47 tests pass. Co-Authored-By: Oz <[email protected]>
…4 shadow params
M1/M2: Eliminate 2 heap allocations per FullCovGaussian::getLogProbability call.
Add chol::inv_quad_form_mv(L, mu, x): computes (x-mu)^T Sigma^-1 (x-mu)
entirely in a thread_local scratch buffer (one allocation per thread, then zero).
Update getLogProbability to use it; noexcept is now sound on this hot path.
Previously: std::vector<double> r(dim_) + BasicVector in solve_lower = 2
allocations per O(T*N) emission evaluation per Baum-Welch iteration.
L1: Suppress nodiscard discard warnings in IO tests (19 sites).
EXPECT_THROW around from_json/load_json/from_json_mv/load_json_mv
wrapped as static_cast<void>(...) per existing test pattern.
L2: Introduce EStepBuffers aggregate struct in both BaumWelch trainers.
Groups {emisAccum, emisWts, piNum, transDen, transNumT} into one named
aggregate; reduces accum_one_sequence from 10 parameters to 6 in both
BasicBaumWelchTrainer and BasicMapBaumWelchTrainer.
L4: Rename shadow parameters in BasicMatrix and BasicVector.
Constructor and resize parameters rows/cols renamed to n_rows/n_cols
(shadowed rows()/cols() members); size renamed to n (shadowed size()).
Element-access row/col left unchanged (conventional and unambiguous).
L3 (false positive) and L5 (pre-existing SIMD code) not touched.
All 47 tests pass.

…ning, copy-ctor, uninit vars bugprone-throwing-static-initialization (2 sites): kFactory (hmm_json.cpp) and kStreamParsers (hmm.cpp) were namespace-scope statics whose constructors (std::unordered_map) can throw during program startup, turning any exception into std::terminate. Converted to function-local statics via scalar_factory() and stream_parsers() getter functions; C++11 guarantees thread-safe lazy init and exceptions propagate normally to the first caller instead. bugprone-implicit-widening-of-multiplication-result (3 sites): 1024 * 1024 and 100 * 1024 * 1024 were computed as int before being used in size_t / uintmax_t context. Added UL suffixes to ensure unsigned arithmetic throughout: 1024UL * 1024UL and 100UL * 1024UL * 1024UL. bugprone-copy-constructor-init (1 site): IndependentComponentsDistribution copy constructor was not calling the base DistributionBase copy constructor, leaving cacheValid_ reset to false instead of preserving the source's cache state. Added explicit base call. cppcoreguidelines-init-variables (4 sites): std::size_t states = 0 in hmm.cpp operator>> double k_est = 0.0 in weibull_distribution.cpp weibull_mom_init double lambda_tmp = 0.0 in WeibullDistribution::fit (both overloads) DiagonalGaussianDistribution::updateCache noexcept cleanup: log_var_.resize(dim_) and inv_var_.resize(dim_) were no-ops (both vectors pre-sized in the constructor and never change dimension). Removed to silence the exception-escape warning accurately. Skipped: bugprone-easily-swappable-parameters (API design), bugprone-crtp-constructor-accessibility (API change), and L5 pre-existing SIMD uninitialized variables. All 47 tests pass.

…ecial members to protected The five Rule-of-Five members (default/copy/move constructors and copy/move assignment operators) were public, allowing DistributionBase<Derived, Obs> to be instantiated directly as a concrete type -- contrary to CRTP intent. Move all five to the protected section. The destructor, clone(), and getBatchLogProbabilities() remain public since they implement the abstract BasicEmissionDistribution<Obs> interface. Derived classes (all 16+ scalar distributions, all 3 MV distributions) are unaffected: derived constructors and assignment operators call protected base special members implicitly through the normal inheritance mechanism. No public API change: callers cannot construct DistributionBase directly (only through derived classes), and the derived class API is unchanged. Also noted: bugprone-easily-swappable-parameters is already suppressed in .clang-tidy line 111 (-bugprone-easily-swappable-parameters); the warnings surfaced only because earlier ad-hoc clang-tidy runs used --checks= which overrides the config file. No NOLINT comments required. All 47 tests pass. Co-Authored-By: Oz <[email protected]>
Adds a network traffic anomaly detection proof-of-concept using the v4 MV
HMM API against CTU-13 Scenario 1 (Neris botnet, Garcia et al. 2014).
Scripts:
scripts/prepare_ctu13_data.py — downloads labeled binetflow, groups flows
by (src,dst,dport,proto) key, computes log1p-transformed 4-feature
per-observation vectors (inter_arrival, dur, tot_bytes, src_bytes),
writes ctu13_train/test/labels.csv to output_dir.
Example:
examples/zeek_anomaly_poc.cpp — trains 3-state DiagonalGaussian and
FullCovarianceGaussian HmmMV on benign-only sequences; scores all
sequences; reports Cohen's d separation and threshold-based TPR/FPR.
POC results (306 benign / 744 botnet keys, CTU-13 Scenario 1):
DiagonalGaussian: d=0.49 (slight separation — most Neris traffic
is DNS-based C2 queries that resemble normal DNS)
FullCovGaussian: d=-0.03 (no improvement — covariance structure of
benign DNS also present in botnet DNS; correlation adds no signal)
Key findings for zeekhmm:
1. Flat per-key 4-feature scoring insufficient for this botnet mix.
The dedicated C2 beacon (port 4506, cv=0.64) is detectable but
buried among 744 mostly DNS-pattern keys.
2. Feature engineering is the hard problem. Per-protocol sub-models
(DNS vs HTTP vs TCP-other) and within-key temporal regularity
features (inter-arrival variance, byte entropy) are needed.
3. MV HMM infrastructure is correct — trains and scores cleanly.
4. FullCovGaussian does not improve over DiagonalGaussian here; the
independence assumption is sufficient for generic flow features.
This honest negative result motivates the full zeekhmm design.
All 47 tests pass.

The two commits on main added/updated AGENTS.md for v3 context. The feature branch AGENTS.md is authoritative for v4 — it correctly states macOS 13 (Ventura) as the minimum, documents the MV JSON API, and omits the Catalina workaround section that v4 explicitly drops.

Applied clang-format --style=file to all headers, source files, and test files touched by this PR. No logic changes; formatting only. Fixes the pre-commit CI check. Co-Authored-By: Oz <[email protected]>
The 'Visual Studio 17 2022' generator searches the Windows registry for a VS installation, which conflicts with the MSVC environment already configured by ilammy/msvc-dev-cmd. Switch to Ninja with explicit cl.exe compilers, which is the standard approach when using the MSVC dev cmd action. Co-Authored-By: Oz <[email protected]>
MSVC does not transitively include <array> from other standard headers. std::array<double,2> is used in the new setter tests at lines 317 and 383 (log_pdf single observation tests). Adding the explicit include fixes the Windows CI build failure. Co-Authored-By: Oz <[email protected]>

libhmm v4.0.0 — Multivariate Emission Support
Summary
This PR delivers the v4.0.0 release of libhmm: full multivariate HMM support via C++20 templates, a new CRTP distribution base, three new MV emission distributions, template calculators and trainers, MV JSON I/O, and a comprehensive documentation and example update. The scalar v3 public API is source-compatible through type aliases.
What's new
Core type system (C++20)
• BasicHmm template replaces the concrete Hmm class; using Hmm = BasicHmm preserves all v3 call sites
• BasicEmissionDistribution virtual interface parameterised on observation type
• DistributionBase<Derived, Obs> CRTP base provides thread-safe cache management (std::atomic), default batch loop, and automatic clone() — eliminating per-distribution boilerplate
• using HmmMV = BasicHmm is the new multivariate alias
Three MV emission distributions
• DiagonalGaussianDistribution — D means + D variances, O(D) log-pdf
• FullCovarianceGaussianDistribution — D×D Cholesky-cached covariance, O(D²) log-pdf; new inv_quad_form_mv helper eliminates 2 heap allocations per hot-path call via thread_local scratch buffer
• IndependentComponentsDistribution — D arbitrary scalar emissions joined by summing log-probabilities
All three have complete setter APIs (setParameters, setMean, setCovariance, setComponent) matching the scalar distribution pattern.
Template calculators and trainers
• BasicForwardBackwardCalculator, BasicViterbiCalculator
• BasicBaumWelchTrainer, BasicMapBaumWelchTrainer, BasicViterbiTrainer
• kmeans_init(HmmMV&, MultiObservationLists&, rng) — Lloyd's k-means with k-means++ seeding for MV pre-training initialisation
• All scalar aliases unchanged
MV JSON I/O
• save_json_mv / load_json_mv / to_json / from_json_mv with v4 schema (obs_type: "multivariate")
• Scalar JSON files load unchanged
Linalg helpers
• cholesky.h: factorize, log_det, solve_lower, inv_quad_form, inv_quad_form_mv
Model selection
• count_free_parameters and evaluate_model extended to HmmMV
Breaking changes
• macOS minimum raised to 13 (Ventura). Pre-Ventura builds are unsupported; use v3.8.0 or fork.
• Minimum compilers: Apple Clang 14+, GCC 12+, Clang 14+, MSVC 2022 (/std:c++20). CMake 3.20+.
• DistributionBase CRTP parameter added: custom distributions inheriting DistributionBase must change public DistributionBase (scalar default, backward-compatible). MV distributions use public DistributionBase<MyDist, ObservationVectorView>.
• BasicTrainer stores observations by const reference, not by value (zero-copy design). Callers must keep the ObservationLists alive for the trainer's lifetime.
See MIGRATION.md for the full upgrade guide.
Tests
47 tests, all passing. New test binaries added in this PR:
• test_mv_calculator — BasicForwardBackwardCalculator, BasicViterbiCalculator
• test_mv_training — Baum-Welch, Viterbi, MAP-BWT, kmeans_init on 2D data
• test_hmm_json_mv — round-trip, file I/O, schema validation, error cases
• test_multivariate_distributions — expanded with 11 new setter tests
• test_cholesky — factorisation with known analytical reference values
CI matrix: Linux/GCC, Linux/Clang, macOS/AppleClang, Windows/MSVC 2022 + pre-commit + cppcheck.

Code quality
• All cyclomatic complexity ≤ 10 (extracted helpers: accum_one_sequence, EStepBuffers aggregate, Cholesky helpers)
• FullCovarianceGaussianDistribution::getLogProbability hot path: 2 heap allocations eliminated via thread_local scratch buffer (~45% training speedup on SPY+QQQ benchmark)
• clang-tidy bugprone findings resolved: throwing-static-initialization, implicit-widening-of-multiplication-result, copy-constructor-init, CRTP constructor accessibility
• DistributionBase special members moved to protected (CRTP correctness)
