Anomaly detection approach using Hidden Markov Model

Anomaly detection is an important problem that has been researched within diverse research areas. Numerous methods and approaches based on Hidden Markov Model regarding the anomaly detection have been proposed and reported in the literature. However, the potential applications using Hidden Markov Model classification based anomaly detection technique have not yet been fully explored and still in its infancy. This paper investigates the capabilities the use of Hidden Markov Model in anomaly detection for discrete sequences.
