as-character-eseq: String representation of an event sequence object

In TraMineR: Trajectory Miner: a Sequence Analysis Toolkit

String representation of an event sequence object

Description

Generic as.character methods to get a string representation of an event sequence seqelist object and of an element eseq of an event sequence object.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'seqelist'
as.character(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'eseq'
as.character(x, ...)

Arguments

x	Event sequence seqelist or esqe object to be coerced
...	Further arguments passed to other methods

Details

String representations have the following form: time-(e1,e2,...)-elapsedtime-(e3,...)... where time is the time elapsed from start to the first set of simultaneous events (e1,e2,...) and elapsedtime the time between two consecutive sets of simultaneous events. Time is only displayed when events are time stamped.
