<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Daïga,<br>
<br>
Here are some answers to your questions.<br>
<br>
1) The function "interaction" from the "base" library can be used to create a new variable. For instance, to create a new variable called "state1", you may use the following code:
<br>
<br>
mydata$state1 <- interaction(mydata$A1, mydata$B1, mydata$C1, mydata$D1, mydata$E1)<br>
<br>
Doing it for each of the five time t, you can get your sequence data. For more information on the "interaction" function, you may run:
<br>
<br>
help(interaction)<br>
<br>
2) sampling weights can be used with the weights argument of the seqdef function (see help(seqdef)). By default, weights will be used in all subsequent call to the different seq type functions. More information on this are given in the reference below (see
section 4)<br>

Hope this helps<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Dear All,<br>
<br>
firstly, hello to everyone- I am new to this list lured here by analytical opportunities offered by TraMineR which are excellently presented in the User Guide! I am using TraMineR to analyse membership histories in voluntary sector organisations.<br>
<br>
Two questions:<br>
<br>
1) Could anyone, please, help me to figure out how can I create multi-character state sequence objects. Currently I have five variables A, B, C,D,E measured five times, each having two levels: yes (1) &no (0), so the data frame contains 25 colums with states:
A1,B1, C1, D1, E1, A2, B2, C2, D2, E2, A3....etc E5. I want to create sequences where each state is represented by all five variables at time point t., e.g. something like this: 01111-10000-11111, i.e at time t this persona was not in A but was in BCDE; at
time t+1 he was in A but not in other etc. <br>
2) how can sampling weights be incorporated into different seq type functions?<br>
<br>
thank you very much in advance!<br>
<br>
best wishes<br>
Daiga<br>
