plot_sequence_entropy: Plot position-wise state entropy

In gp3sequences: Transparent Analysis of Ordered Categorical Sequences

Plot position-wise state entropy

Description

Plot position-wise state entropy

Usage

plot_sequence_entropy(
  data,
  sequence_id_col = "sequence_id",
  order_col = "sequence_order",
  state_col = "state",
  base = 2,
  normalise = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

data	Long-format sequence data or a prepared result.
sequence_id_col, order_col, state_col	Core sequence columns.
base	Logarithm base.
normalise	Divide entropy by the maximum entropy for the observed alphabet.
...	Additional arguments passed to graphics::plot().

Value

A data frame of position-wise entropy values, invisibly.

Examples

data <- data.frame(sequence_id = rep(c("a", "b"), each = 4L),
                   sequence_order = rep(1:4, 2L),
                   state = c("A", "B", "C", "D", "A", "C", "C", "D"))
plot_sequence_entropy(data)
