seqistatd

Returns the state frequencies (total durations) for each sequence in the sequence object.

state sequences

Longitudinal characteristics

Set of sequence analysis tools for manipulating, describing and rendering categorical sequences, and more generally mining sequence data in the field of social sciences. Although this sequence analysis package is primarily intended for state or event sequences that describe time use or life courses such as family formation histories or professional careers, its features also apply to many other kinds of categorical sequence data. It accepts many different sequence representations as input and provides tools for converting sequences from one format to another. It offers several functions for describing and rendering sequences, for computing distances between sequences with different metrics (among which optimal matching), original dissimilarity-based analysis tools, and functions for extracting the most frequent event subsequences and identifying the most discriminating ones among them. A user's guide can be found on the TraMineR web page.

seqistatd function

<dl> <dt>seqdata</dt>
<dd>a sequence object (see <code>seqdef</code> function).</dd> <dt>with.missing</dt>
<dd>logical: if set as <code>TRUE</code>, total durations are also computed for the missing status (gaps in the sequences). See seqdef on options for handling missing values when creating sequence objects.</dd> <dt>prop</dt>
<dd>logical: if <code>TRUE</code>, proportions of time spent in each state are returned instead of absolute values. This option is specially useful when sequences contain missing states, since the sum of the state durations may not be the same for all sequences.</dd></dl>
