seqdecomp

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 between states/events separator used in the input data set. Default to '-'.

the symbol for missing values (if any) used in the input data set. Default to 'NA'.

miss

optional names for the column/variables of the output data set. Default to NULL.

vnames

For the moment, each character in the string will be considered to be one state or event = this function will not give accurate results if the character string representing the sequence contains events or states coded with more than one character.

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.
