seqstatl: List of distinct states or events (alphabet) for a sequence data set.
Description
Returns a list containing distinct states or events found in a dataframe or matrix containing sequence data, the alphabet.
Usage
seqstatl(data, var=NULL, format='STS')
Arguments
data
a dataframe or matrix containing sequence data.
var
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.
