## Constructor for "SMAPHMM" objects

### Description

A constructor for `SMAPHMM-class` objects.

### Usage

    SMAPHMM(noStates, Phi, A=NULL,
            Pi=rep(1/noStates,noStates),
            initTrans=0.2/(noStates - 1))

### Arguments

`noStates` | The number of hidden states in the HMM (numeric).
`Phi` | A Gaussian distribution parameter matrix (numeric).
`A` | A `noStates * noStates` matrix of transition probabilities betweeen the hidden states (numeric).
`Pi` | A vector of initial probabilities of starting in a certain state (numeric).
`initTrans` | Specifies the transition probability between non-equal states (numeric).

### Details

`Phi` is a `noStates * 2` matrix that specifies the paramaters of Gaussian distributions associated with each hidden state. The first column specifies standard deviations, the second specifies means.

If `A == NULL`, `initTrans` specifies the transition probability between states `i` and `j` in `1:noStates`, such that `i != j`. Only used if `A == NULL`. `initTrans * noStates` must be smaller than (or equal to) 1.

### Value

An object of class `SMAPHMM-class`.
