Monte Carlo Simulations of Time Changes in Sequences
Overview
Generates replicated sets of sequences with Monte Carlo simulated timing changes and computes various indicators for evaluating effects of timing uncertainty on sequence analysis results. See Ritschard, G. and Liao, T.F. (2026): "Assessing the Impact of Timing Errors in Sequence Analysis". International Journal of Social Research Methodology doi:10.1080/13645579.2026.2666297.
New functions
MCcompgrpcollects group comparison statistics per MC-sets.ggplotMCcqiggplot, by MC-sets, the selected range values of a CQI selected in aMCclustQobject.printmethod forMCclustQobjects returned byMCclustqual.
Changes in existing functions
MCclustqualelements$qual.maxand$qual.tabnow include results for observed sequences when attribute"obs"of disslist isTRUE. Elementqual.obshas been suppressed from the outcome.MCclustqualandMCmdscorr: argumentverbosein place ofsilent.MCclustqualandMCmdscorr: argumentcorenow can be"auto".MCclustcompnew logical argumentAMIto specify if the costly AMI should be computed.
