[Traminer-users] creating multicharacter state sequence objects &weights

[Kamerade Daiga]

Dear All,

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.

Two questions:

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.
2) how can sampling weights be incorporated into different seq type functions?

thank you very much in advance!

best wishes
Daiga
