	abstract =	{In this paper we consider two related problems in hidden
	Markov models (HMMs). One, how the various parameters of an HMM
	actually contribute to predictions of state sequences and
	spatio-temporal pattern recognition. Two, how the HMM parameters (and
	associated HMM topology) can be updated to improve performance. These
	issues are examined in the context of four different experimental
	settings from pure simulations to observed data. Results clearly
	demonstrate the benefits of applying some critical tests on the model
	parameters before using it as a predictor or spatio-temporal pattern
	recognition technique.},
