seqentrans: Event sequence length and number of events

In TraMineRextras: TraMineR Extension

Event sequence length and number of events

Description

Adds the sequence length (number of transitions) and total number of events of event sequences to the data attribute of a subseqelist event sequence object.

Usage

  seqentrans(fsubseq, avg.occ = FALSE)

Arguments

fsubseq	A subseqelist object as returned by seqefsub.
avg.occ	Logical: Should a column with average number of occurrences also be added?

Details

An event sequence object is an ordered list of transitions, with each transition a non-ordered list of events occurring at a same position.

Average occurrences by sequence may be useful when counts report number of occurrences rather than number of sequences containing the subsequence.

Value

The object fsubseq updated with the additional information.

Examples

data(actcal.tse)
actcal.seqe <- seqecreate(actcal.tse[1:500,])

##Searching for frequent subsequences appearing at least 10 times
fsubseq <- seqefsub(actcal.seqe, min.support=10)
fsubseq <- seqentrans(fsubseq)
## dispaying only those with at least 3 transitions
fsubseq[fsubseq$data$ntrans>2]
## dispaying only those with at least 3 events
fsubseq[fsubseq$data$nevent>2]

## Average occurrences when counting distinct occurrences
ct <- seqeconstraint(count.method="CDIST_O")
fsb <- seqefsub(actcal.seqe, min.support=10, constraint=ct)
fsb <- seqentrans(fsb, avg.occ=TRUE)
fsb[1:10,]
