Datasets
Sequenzo includes example datasets for learning sequence analysis workflows and for checking whether code runs as expected. These examples cover life-course research, education, family demography, political economy, historical trajectories, stress, multidomain data, and polyadic analysis.
Use this page to choose a dataset that matches the type of sequence question you want to practice.
Choose a Dataset
| Research setting | Start with | Good for practicing |
|---|---|---|
| A compact social sequence workflow | MVAD School-to-Work Transitions | Sequence definition, distances, clustering, plots |
| Family life-course trajectories | Biofam Family Life Trajectories | Life-course states and typologies |
| Multidomain family trajectories | Biofam Three-Domain Family Life | Parallel domains such as partnership, parenthood, and residence |
| Pairfam family or activity trajectories | Pairfam Family Trajectories, Pairfam Activity Trajectories | Survey-based monthly and yearly trajectories |
| Polyadic or intergenerational sequence analysis | Intergenerational Family Data for Polyadic Analysis | Linked actors and relational sequence questions |
| Historical or comparative examples | CO2 Emissions, GDP per Capita, Political Science Aid Datasets | Macro-level trajectories beyond individual life courses |
| Stress and repeated-measure data | College Students' Stress | Repeated observations and short categorical trajectories |
Typical Use
Most dataset pages show the source, the variable structure, and the columns that can be passed to SequenceData. After choosing a dataset, continue with the Quickstart or the Typical Workflow.
