Unfortunately, i don't find some response elements.<br>That is my problem: i create my seqdef object, and i create a state for the gaps NA's, named "gap":<br><span style="font-size: 13px;"><em><strong>> Dddd.seq<-seqdef(Dddd, 1:12, left="late", right="out", gaps="gap", nr="no")</strong></em></span><br>And, in a second time, i would like to work precisely on sequences which contain this specific state '("gap"), i.e. sequences with an interruption.<br>How i can do that?<br><br>I try to use the seqecontain function. But:<br><br>1 - I don't know what is a "seqelist" object, and if we have to use seqecreate function before using the seqecontain function.<br>In other words, my question is: can we -and how- searching sequences that contain a specific state directly in the seqdef object?<br><br>2 - For do this I try to use seqecreate function before, but R return this message:<br><span style="font-size: 13px;"><strong><em>Erreur dans `seqelength<-`(`*tmp*`, value = c(12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, :<br> s and len should be of the same size</em></strong></span>.<br>I supposed than the error come from NA's in my original data set, but in my seqdef function I define state's label for all the eventualities (left, gap, right and nr). Anyway, i'v this info for my seqdef object:<br><em><strong><span style="font-size: 13px;"> [>] min/max sequence length: 12/12</span></strong></em><br>So all my sequences have the same lenght. What's mean this error message? What are "s" and "len"? <em><br><br></em>I thank you for TraMineR package, and for the help,</div><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><br>And i hope than my english is not to bad!<br><em> <br></em><br><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><hr><strong><font size="2">Elie Chosson,</font></strong><br><strong><font size="2">Doctorant contractuel,</font></strong><br><strong><font size="2">BATEG, Bureau 513, tel: 04 76 82 59 89<br><br></font></strong></div><div align="left"><strong><font size="2"><a href="http://creg.upmf-grenoble.fr/" target="_blank">Centre de Recherche en Économie de Grenoble (CREG)</a></font></strong><br><strong><font size="2">BP 47 - 38040 Grenoble Cedex 9</font></strong><br><hr><br><br></div></div><br></div></body></html>
