karma 1.0.0

A sophisticated Hidden Markov Model (HMM) implementation using the Baum-Welch algorithm
Documentation
// DNA Sequence Analysis with Hidden Markov Models
//
// This example demonstrates a sophisticated real-world application of HMMs:
// identifying CpG islands in DNA sequences.
//
// CpG islands are genomically important regions where cytosine-guanine dinucleotides
// occur at higher frequencies than in the rest of the genome. They're often found
// near gene promoters and are crucial for gene regulation.
//
// The HMM learns to distinguish between:
// - CpG island regions (high CG content, specific dinucleotide patterns)
// - Background regions (normal genomic DNA)
// - Transition regions (boundaries between the two)
