seqdecomp

Convert a character string into a vector of states or events

Description

For the moment, each character in the string will be considered to be one state or event = this function will not give accurate results if the character string representing the sequence contains events or states coded with more than one character.

Usage

seqdecomp(data, var=NULL, sep='-', miss="NA", vnames=NULL)

Arguments

`data`	a dataframe or matrix containing sequence data.
`var`	the list of columns containing the sequences. Default is `NULL`, ie all the columns. Whether the sequences are in the compressed (character strings) or extended format is automatically detected by counting the number of columns.
`sep`	the between states/events separator used in the input data set. Default is '`-`'.
`miss`	the symbol for missing values (if any) used in the input data set. Default is `NA`.
`vnames`	optional names for the column/variables of the output data set. Default is `NULL`.

Examples

## Converts 'seq' into a vector of states of length 10
seq <- "A-A-A-A-B-B-B-C-C-C"
seqdecomp(seq)
