R: Sequence length

seqlength {TraMineR} | R Documentation

## Sequence length

### Description

Returns the length of sequences.

### Usage

     seqlength(seqdata, with.missing=TRUE)

### Arguments

`seqdata` | a sequence object created with the `seqdef` function.
`with.missing` | logical: should non-void missing values be treated as a regular state? Default is `TRUE`. If `FALSE` missing values are considered as void.

### Details

The length of a sequence is computed by counting its number of non void elements, i.e. including non-void missing values. The `seqlength` function returns a vector containing the length of each sequence in the provided sequence object.
