Index plot of sequences ordered according to a dendrogram

Index plot of state sequences. Sequences are ordered according to the specified dendrogram. The dendrogram is also plotted on the side of the index plot.

seq_heatmap(seq, tree, with.missing = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

seq

a state sequence object created with the seqdef function

tree

a dendrogram of the sequences (an object of class hclust, dendrogram or agnes)

with.missing

is there a 'missing value' state in the sequences?

...

additional parameters sent to heatmap
