PSTf-class {PST}

Flat representation of a probabilistic suffix tree

Description

The class "PSTf" is the flat representation of a probabilistic suffix tree (PST) storing a variable length Markov chain model. The flat representation is a list where each element corresponds to a given depth. It is the prefered representation and is used by all functions for model fitting and sequence analysis with PST. The nested representation "PSTr" is used only for printing and plotting PSTs.

Objects from the Class

Objects of class "PSTf" are returned by the pstree, prune and tune function.

Slots

.Data:

Object of class "list", a list where each element corresponds to one level of the tree and is itself a list of nodes, i.e., objects of class "PSTr".

data:

Object of class "stslist". The learning sample to which the PST is fitted, i.e., a sequence object created with the seqdef function.

cdata:

Object of class "stslist"

alphabet:

Object of class "character". Alphabet on which the sequences, and the PST are built.

labels:

Object of class "character" containing the long state labels.

cpal:

Object of class "character". Color palette used to represent each state of the alphabet.

segmented:

Object of class "logical" indicating whether the tree is segmented. See pstree.

group:

Object of class "factor" containing the group membership for each sequence in data.

call:

Object of class "call".

logLik:

Object of class "numeric", containing the log-likelihood of the VLMC model represented by the PST.

Extends

Class "list", from data part. Class "vector", by class "list", distance 2.
