seqdur: Extracts states durations from a sequence object.

Description

Extracts states durations from a sequence object. Returns a matrix containing the states durations for the sequences. The states durations in 'D-D-D-D-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-D' are 4,7,1. Distinct states can be extracted with the seqdss function.

Usage

seqdur(seqdata)

Arguments

seqdata

a sequence object as defined by the seqdef function.

Value

• a matrix containing the states durations for each distinct state in each sequence.

Examples

## Creating a sequence object with the columns 13 to 24 
## in the 'actcal' example data set
data(actcal)
actcal.seq <- seqdef(actcal,13:24)

## Retrieving the DSS
actcal.dur <- seqdur(actcal.seq)
  
## Displaying the durations for the first 10 sequences
actcal.dur[1:10,]
