randomClicks: Generates a Sequence of Clicks

Description

Generates a Sequence of Clicks

Usage

randomClicks(object, startPattern, dist)

Arguments

object

The MarkovChain used for generating the next click(s)

startPattern

Pattern containing the first clicks of a user. A Pattern object with an empty sequence is also possible.

dist

(Optional) The number of clicks that should be generated (default is 1).

Methods

list("signature(object = \"MarkovChain\")")

Generates a sequence of clicks by randomly walking through the transition graph of a given MarkovChain object.
