seqstatf {TraMineR}R Documentation

State frequencies in the all sequence data set

Description

Frequency of each state of the alphabet in the all sequence data set.

Usage

seqstatf(seqdata, weighted = TRUE)

Arguments

seqdata a sequence object as defined by the seqdef function.
weighted if TRUE, frequencies account for the weights assigned to the state sequence object (see seqdef). Set to FALSE if you want ignore the weights. If no weights were assigned during the creation of the sequence object, weighted=TRUE will yield the same result as weighted=FALSE since each sequence is allowed a weight of 1.

Details

The seqstatf function computes the (weighted) raw and percentage frequency of each state of the alphabet in seqdata, i.e the (weighted) sum of the occurences of a state in seqdata.

Value

a data.frame with as many rows as the number of states in the alphabet and two columns, one for the raw frequencies (Freq) and one for the percentage frequencies.

See Also

seqstatd for the state distribution by time point (position), seqistatd for the state distribution within each sequence.

Examples

## Creating a sequence object from the actcal data set
data(actcal)
actcal.lab <- c("> 37 hours", "19-36 hours", "1-18 hours", "no work")
actcal.seq <- seqdef(actcal, 13:24, labels=actcal.lab)

## States frequencies
seqstatf(actcal.seq)

## Example with weights
data(ex1)
ex1.seq <- seqdef(ex1, 1:13, weights=ex1$weights)

## Unweighted
seqstatf(ex1.seq, weighted=FALSE)

## Weighted
seqstatf(ex1.seq, weighted=TRUE)
