Plot Event sequences / Event Sequences Clustering

Question

Perhaps this is a veru dull question, but I did my research on it and couldn\'t find an answer.

I want to plot my event sequences in the same way we plot sequences o

Answer 1

regarding the clustering of event sequences, you can use the seqedist function of the companion TraMineRextras package.

data(actcal.tse)
actcal.seqe <- seqecreate(actcal.tse[1:200,])[1:6,]
## We have 8 different event in this dataset
idcost <- rep(1, 8)
dd <- seqedist(actcal.seqe, idcost=idcost, vparam=.1)

For explanation on the distance, you can look at the paper
