seqstatf: State frequencies in the whole sequence data set

Description

Overall frequency of each state of the alphabet in the state sequence object.

Usage

seqstatf(seqdata, weighted = TRUE)

Arguments

seqdata

a sequence object as defined by the seqdef function.

weighted

Logical. Should frequencies account for weights when present in the state sequence object (see seqdef). Default is TRUE. If no weights were assigned during the creation of the sequence object

Value

• A data frame with as many rows as states in the alphabet and two columns, one for the count (Freq) and one for the percentage frequencies (Percent).

Details

The seqstatf function computes the (weighted) count and frequency of each state of the alphabet in seqdata, i.e., the (weighted) sum of the occurrences of a state in seqdata.

See Also

seqstatd for the state distribution by time point (position), seqistatd for the state distribution within each sequence.

Examples

## Creating a sequence object from the actcal data set
data(actcal)
actcal.lab <- c("> 37 hours", "19-36 hours", "1-18 hours", "no work")
actcal.seq <- seqdef(actcal, 13:24, labels=actcal.lab)

## States frequencies
seqstatf(actcal.seq)

## Example with weights
data(ex1)
ex1.seq <- seqdef(ex1, 1:13, weights=ex1$weights)

## Unweighted
seqstatf(ex1.seq, weighted=FALSE)

## Weighted
seqstatf(ex1.seq, weighted=TRUE)
