Research direction

Start by reading PRs 2273 and 2274 alongside the Pyro HMM distributions they port. Review the proof-of-concept implementation, tests, docstrings, documentation, and optimization work. Done means the HMM distributions are ported to NumPyro with the associated tests and documentation in a reviewable form.

Description

enhancement

I suggest porting the HMM distributions from Pyro to NumPyro.

I have to stacked PRs with the proof of concept:

I paired up with Claude work on the port and tests and optimization.

The PRs are long: mostly because docstrings and tests and docs. But I am aware this might be hard to review so now that the proof of concept is up, Im open for suggestions: stacked PRs or review as it is ... or any other options.

Thoughts @fehiepsi @Qazalbash ?
