Answer 1

I don't know if you found a solution to your problem.

You can install and implement your HMM using hmmlearn.

It can be installed easily with a pip install hmmlearn.

To quote Scikit-learn,

Warning The sklearn.hmm module has now been deprecated due to it no longer matching the scope and the API of the project. It is scheduled for removal in the 0.17 release of the project. This module has been moved to a seperate repository: https://github.com/hmmlearn/hmmlearn

Answer 2

According to the Hidden Markov Models site here, the sklearn.hmm module has been deprecated and is scheduled for removal in the 0.17. Confirm that your scikit-learn is at least version 0.16.1 because from 0.17 you won't have sklearn.hmm.
