 The package supports models for one or multiple subjects with one or multiple parallel sequences (channels). External covariates can be added to explain cluster membership in mixture models. The package provides functions for evaluating and comparing models, as well as functions for easy plotting of multichannel sequence data and hidden Markov models.
 
-Maximum likelihood estimation via EM algorithm and direct numerical maximization with analytical gradients is supported. All main algorithms are written in C++.

-The package is still under development but should be available at CRAN by the end of 2015.
+Maximum likelihood estimation via EM algorithm and direct numerical maximization with analytical gradients is supported. All main algorithms are written in C++ with parallel computation support via OpenMP.
