You do not provide enough information, however, to allow identifying the source of the problem.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I have been making sequence plots, and I seem to be getting very different results when I use the "group" option of the seqdplot or seqIplot command than when I draw separate plots for each subgroup.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">After creating a sequence object and performing optimal matching using PAM, I have chosen a 4 cluster solution. I then create a single plot that shows the distribution across states in each of the 4 clusters like this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><br>
seqdplot(seq.hc, group = pam5vs$clustering$cluster4, border = NA, title="pam5vs")<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">If I subset the data and make a separate plot for one of the 4 clusters as in the code below, the N matches the results above (the total N and the N across the states), but I get a very different impression
of how the cases are distributed across the states in the two graphs. Am I doing something wrong? I would be happy to provide more detail if needed.<o:p></o:p></p>
