Ion channel recordings under a changing environment are hardly analyzed and are the main cause for the new model class we introduce. This thesis mainly concerns hidden Markov models with a homogeneous hidden Markov chain and an inhomogeneous observation law, varying in time, but converging to a distribution. The main contribution of this thesis concerns the asymptotic behavior of a quasi-maximum likelihood estimator. In particular, strong consistency and asymptotic normality of this estimator are proven.
