get_individual_state_distribution()

get_individual_state_distribution() returns the per-sequence state distribution table.

Function Usage

from sequenzo import get_individual_state_distribution
result = get_individual_state_distribution(seqdata, as_proportion=False)

Entry Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
seqdata	✓	SequenceData	Input sequence dataset.
as_proportion	✗	bool	Return proportions instead of counts.

What It Does

• Computes state frequencies for each sequence.
• Returns either counts or proportions, depending on as_proportion.

Returns

pd.DataFrame.

Examples

from sequenzo import get_individual_state_distribution

dist = get_individual_state_distribution(seqdata, as_proportion=True)
print(dist.head())

R Counterpart

• Closest TraMineR function: TraMineR::seqistatd()
• Mapping note: This is a direct conceptual match; Sequenzo computes per-sequence state frequency/distribution output with optional proportions.
