Sequences.ind.0: Sorts dates in ascending order and generates state sequence...

In Biograph: Explore Life Histories

Description

Sorts dates in ascending order: earlier dates come first. The function also generates state sequences (life path or career path). The function is used in generating a Biograph object from raw data. The state sequence is the path variable of the Biograph object.

Usage

Sequences.ind.0 (d,namstates,absorb)

Arguments

d	Vector of dates
namstates	state labels (labels of single characters)
absorb	Vector of absorbing states

Value

namstates	Labels of the states in the state space.
d	Sorted dates
path	Character variable of state sequences. This variable is the 'path' variable in the Biograph object.
