I am aware of the use of BIC for comparing single HMMs with different number of parameters. How does this apply for the use of MHMMs? I mean, how can I compare models with different number of clusters, and different number of states in the HMM of each cluster?
Best!

In short, this approach starts with finding preliminary clusters using sequence analysis and cluster analysis, followed by estimating separate HMMs for each cluster in a few clustering options. In other words, the number of states in each preliminary cluster is determined separately. Finally, the parameters of these separate HMMs are used as starting values in the estimation of MHMMs, keeping numbers of hidden states fixed in each cluster. The best number of clusters is determined from combining the MHMMs.
Please read the paper for more detailed information to determine whether something like this would suit your needs.
