We introduce a class of multivariate latent Markov models with covariates for the investigation of criminal trajectories. For the maximum likelihood estimation of these models we outline an EM-type algorithm. We also show how, by fitting a suitable sequence of nested models belonging to the proposed class, we can perform a hierarchical classification of the crimes into homogeneous groups.

Abstract

We introduce a class of multivariate latent Markov models with covariates for the investigation of criminal trajectories. For the maximum likelihood estimation of these models we outline an EM-type algorithm. We also show how, by fitting a suitable sequence of nested models belonging to the proposed class, we can perform a hierarchical classification of the crimes into homogeneous groups.
