convert_event_sequences_to_tse()

convert_event_sequences_to_tse() converts event sequences into a tidy timestamped event table.

Function Usage

convert_event_sequences_to_tse(event_sequences)

TraMineR Parameter Mapping

• event_sequences -> TraMineR eseq

Entry Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
event_sequences (event_sequences)	✓	EventSequenceData / EventSequenceList	The event-sequence dataset to export as a table.

Returns

pandas.core.frame.DataFrame.

Output

A DataFrame with columns:

• id
• timestamp
• event

Example

tse_df = convert_event_sequences_to_tse(event_sequences)
print(tse_df.head())

R Counterpart

• Closest R workflow: TraMineR::seqformat(..., to = "TSE")
• Mapping note: TraMineR also has an internal helper named seqe2TSE, but the documented public conversion path is seqformat(..., to = "TSE"). Avoid relying on undocumented casing variants.

Notes

• This is a format conversion only; it does not change your original object.
• Output is sorted by id, timestamp, and event.
