[Traminer-users] large data sets (Gerhard Wuehrer)

[Pollien Alexandre]

Hello,
Unless you haven't a very specific configuration (?), such a huge dataset won't be fully supported with TraMineR in R: you'll  have a "can't allocate vetor size" error" and other calculations will be very long (with much smaller files, I have waited overnight to get pseudo-ANOVA). One point that is essential is to reduce the file to "unique" sequences: create an ID that designates each different sequence and keep only one of each. Once results of sequence analysis obtained (mds, cluster), you can reassign sequence variables in all identical one. Depending on the nature of the data, this can divided the size by 10-20.
I don't think a large number of modalities (states) causes an overmemory error. But I'm not sure that the analysis will be successful. I have only experienced about 20 states, that I quickly recoded in less than 10 states because I don't manage to achieve anything good with too much modalities. You have maybe to try. The sequence analysis works very differently according the nature of data.

Hi TraMineRs, 
 
what is your experience with large datasets? I mean n = 45.000 and the states possible as sequences are m = 184, the sequence intervall varies between 1 to 66. States can repeat several times. 
 
Thank you for your opinion and advice.
 
Best regards - Gerhard Wuehrer
