Omit output when calling seqdef

I wonder if it is possible to omit the output of the function seqdef of TraMineR. I do not see any verbose argument or similar.

Thank you! Víctor

Solution

  • You probably mean suppressing messages. So just use suppressMessages(seqdef(...)) as in the example below. Note that suppressMessages is a base R function and can be used with other functions such as seqdist or seqrep.

    library(TraMineR)
data(biofam)
biofam.lab <- c("Parent", "Left", "Married", "Left+Marr",
                "Child", "Left+Child", "Left+Marr+Child", "Divorced")
biofam.short <- c("P","L","M","LM","C","LC","LMC","D")
biofam.seq <- suppressMessages(seqdef(biofam[,10:25], alphabet=0:7, 
                     states=biofam.short, labels=biofam.lab))
