seqconc

a dataframe or matrix containing sequence data.

data

the list of columns containing the sequences. Defaut to NULL, ie all the columns. Whether the sequences are in the compressed (character strings) or extended format is automatically detected by counting the number of columns.

the character used as separator. By default, "-".

an optional name for the variable containing the sequences. By default, "Sequence".

vname

the code used for void elements appearing in the sequences (see <cite>Gabadinho et al. (2008)</cite> for more details on missing values and void elements in sequences). Default to NA.

void

Concatenate vectors of states or events into a character string. In the string, each state is separated by 'sep'. The void elements in the input sequences are eliminated.

manip

This package is a toolbox for sequence manipulation,
        description, rendering and more generally sequence data mining
        in the field of social sciences. Though it is primarily
        intended for analyzing state or event sequences that describe
        life courses such as family formation histories or professional
        careers its features apply indeed also to many other kinds of
        categorical sequence data. It accepts as input many different
        sequence representations and provides tools for translating
        sequences from one format to another. It offers several
        statistical functions for describing and rendering sequences,
        for computing distances between sequences with different
        metrics among which optimal matching, the longest common prefix
        and the longest common subsequence, and simple functions for
        extracting the most frequent subsequences and identifying the
        most discriminating ones among them. A user's guide can be
        found on TraMineR's web page.
