Title

trprgr -- Graphically present transition rates from sequences

Syntax

trprgr varlist (min=2) , options [option]

options

Optional
FLoor(real) Lowest transition rate for diagonal graphs.

CEIling(real) Highest transition rate for off-diagonal graphs.

GMax(int) Highest number of cases in any state at any time.

MOVingaverage(int) Look-back and look-ahead for moving average, default 3.

TEXtsize(string) Text size of labels.

Description

trprgr takes a set of sequences described by varlist in
wide format and graphs the time-dependent transition rate structure. The
graphic consists of m rows and m+1 columns, where m is the number of
states. The first column displays the time-dependent distribution of
states, and the remaining m by m structure reproduces an m by m
transition table but with graphs of time-series of transition rates
instead of single values.

Time series on the diagonal are plotted on the y-axis with a range
of FLOOR to 1, those off the diagonal on the range 0 to CEILING. This
assumes that retention in a state is more common than transitions
between states, but setting FLOOR and CEILING respectively to 0 and 1
will give a common y-axis. The option GMAX sets the range for the
state-distribution graphs, and should be set slightly greater than the
maximum to make the state distribution graphs comparable.
