[Traminer-users] theoretical maximum distance / groupe de séquence représentatives

[Gilbert Ritschard]

You probably mean the theoretical maximum distance. This is just the 
maximum possible value of the distance and is, indeed, dependent on the 
selected distance.

In the JSS paper about TraMineR p 29, you find the analytical 
definitions of this maximum for optimal matching and some other 
distances. Using the appropriate formula, you can compute the maximum 
for the distance you selected and then pass this value as  "dmax=" 
argument to seqrep or seqrplot. When dmax=NULL (default), seqrep (or 
seqrplot) uses the maximal observed distance instead.
