Description: Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based on symmetric lambda distribution
    framework is implemented for the study of return time-series in the financial
    market. Major features in the S&P500 index, such as regime identification,
    volatility clustering, and anti-correlation between return and volatility,
    can be extracted from HMM cleanly. Univariate symmetric lambda distribution
    is essentially a location-scale family of exponential power distribution.
    Such distribution is suitable for describing highly leptokurtic time series
    obtained from the financial market. It provides a theoretically solid foundation
    to explore such data where the normal distribution is not adequate. The HMM
    implementation follows closely the book: "Hidden Markov Models for Time Series",
    by Zucchini, MacDonald, Langrock (2016).
