R: Setting or retrieving weights of an event sequence object.

seqeweight {TraMineR} | R Documentation

## Setting or retrieving weights of an event sequence object.

### Description

Event sequence objects can be weighted. Weights are used by other functions such as `seqefsub` or `seqecmpgroup` to compute weighted statistics.

### Usage

    seqeweight(eseq, s)
    seqeweight(eseq, s) <- value

### Arguments

`eseq` | An event sequence object (`seqelist`).
`value` | Numerical vector containing weights
`s` | Deprecated. Use `eseq` instead.

### Value

`seqeweight` returns a numerical vector containing the weights associated to each event sequence.

### Examples

    ##Starting with states sequences
    ##Loading data
    data(biofam)
    ## Creating state sequences
    biofam.seq <- seqdef(biofam,10:25,informat='STS')

    ## Creating event sequences from biofam
    biofam.eseq <- seqecreate(biofam.seq, weighted=FALSE)

    ## Using the weights
    seqeweight(biofam.eseq) <- biofam$wp00tbgs

    ## Now seqefsub accounts for weights unless weighted is set to FALSE
    fsubseq <- seqefsub(biofam.eseq, pmin.support=0.01)

    ## Searching for weighted susbsequences which best
    ## discriminate the birth cohort
    discr <- seqecmpgroup(fsubseq, group=biofam$birthyr>=1940)
    plot(discr[1:15])
