Convert sequence data to a TraMineR state-sequence object

Usage

as_traminer_sequences(
  data,
  sequence_id_col = "sequence_id",
  order_col = "sequence_order",
  state_col = "state",
  missing = NA,
  right = "DEL",
  ...
)

Arguments

data: Long-format sequence data.
sequence_id_col, order_col, state_col: Sequence columns.
missing: Missing-state code passed to TraMineR::seqdef().
right: Right-missing policy passed to TraMineR::seqdef().
...: Additional arguments passed to TraMineR::seqdef().

Value

A TraMineR stslist object with original sequence identifiers as row names.

Examples

sequences <- data.frame(
  sequence_id = rep(c("s1", "s2", "s3", "s4"), each = 4L),
  sequence_order = rep(1:4, times = 4L),
  state = c("A", "B", "C", "D", "A", "B", "C", "C",
            "D", "C", "B", "A", "D", "C", "A", "A"),
  group = rep(c("g1", "g2"), each = 8L),
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)
if (requireNamespace("TraMineR", quietly = TRUE)) {
  as_traminer_sequences(sequences)
}
