Description: This package is a toolbox for sequence manipulation, description, rendering and more generally the mining of sequence data in the field of social sciences. Though it is primarily intended for analyzing state or event sequences that describe life courses such as family formation histories or professional careers its features also apply to many other kinds of categorical sequence data. It accepts many different sequence representations as input and provides tools for translating sequences from one format to another. It offers several statistical functions for describing and rendering sequences, for computing distances between sequences with different metrics among which optimal matching, the longest common prefix and the longest common subsequence, and simple functions for extracting the most frequent subsequences and identifying the most discriminating ones among them. A user's guide can be found on the TraMineR web page.

It accepts many different sequence representations as input and provides tools for converting sequences from one format to another. It offers several functions for describing and rendering sequences, for computing distances between sequences with different metrics (among which optimal matching), original dissimilarity-based analysis tools, and simple functions for extracting the most frequent subsequences and identifying the most discriminating ones among them.

Description: This package is a toolbox for sequence manipulation,
description, rendering and more generally sequence data mining
in the field of social sciences. Though it is primarily
intended for analyzing state or event sequences that describe
life courses such as family formation histories or professional
careers its features apply indeed also to many other kinds of
categorical sequence data. It accepts as input many different
sequence representations and provides tools for translating
sequences from one format to another. It offers several
statistical functions for describing and rendering sequences,
for computing distances between sequences with different
metrics among which optimal matching, the longest common prefix
and the longest common subsequence, and simple functions for
extracting the most frequent subsequences and identifying the
most discriminating ones among them. A user's guide can be
