Comment(by mhampton):

 I got one numerical noise doctest failure on OS X 10.5.8:

 sage -t  devel/sage-t2/sage/stats/hmm/util.pyx
 **********************************************************************
 File
 "/Users/mh/sagestuff/sage-4.3.5/devel/sage-t2/sage/stats/hmm/util.pyx",
 line 55:
     sage: T.sum()
 Expected:
     1.0
 Got:
     0.99999999999999978

 I used this code in class yesterday (see
 
http://wiki.sagemath.org/interact/stats#HiddenMarkovModel.3ATheOccasionallyDishonestCasino)
 and for that limited purpose it seemed fine.

 It would be nice to have the forward and backward algorithms more exposed,
 but I don't think that needs to go into this ticket unless you feel like
 it.

 Apart from the noise issue  I think can give this a positive review.
