Abstract

Organizations operate under fixed budgets, yet latent market regimes dictate shifting capital and risk limits. Dynamically labeling these regimes from public prices is therefore critical. However, the task is discrete and poorly served by continuous models. The authors employ discrete hidden Markov models (DHMMs) to infer categorical states from continuous price series. On the other hand, real-world data are non-stationary and noisy, and the traditional Baum-Welch routine often stalls in local optima, inflating runtime and causing overfitting. To overcome these limitations, they introduce GOA-DHMM, the first adaptation of the Gannet Optimization Algorithm to DHMMs. Hybrid encoding plus temporal regularization enforces probability-simplex constraints while preserving sequential coherence. Evaluated on 1,100 days of CSI-300 data, GOA-DHMM outperforms BW, PSO, and GA in accuracy and stability, delivering clearer, faster regime signals that let organizations allocate capital and hedge risk with confidence.
