1. A method of developing a pattern recognition model, the method comprising:
- training a plurality of models with diagonal covariance matrices;
estimating a full covariance matrix for each of the plurality of models based on related models; and
replacing the diagonal covariance matrices of the plurality of models with the estimated full covariance matrices.

Abstract
A reliable full covariance matrix estimation algorithm for pattern unit'"'"'s state output distribution in pattern recognition system is discussed. An intermediate hierarchical tree structure is built to relate models for product units. Full covariance matrices of pattern unit'"'"'s state output distribution are estimated based on all the related nodes in the tree.
