Details

Matrix of succession of patterns, provided as a data.frame. The code of the rows, character values of the levels of the factor id are the same as the names of the columns after id. The elements of the matrix. The value of each element reflects the number of times the pattern id[i] is followed by the pattern names(courtil)[j+1].
