Back from #PAA. Saw many sequence analysis applications — not all with great visualization.

No need to overcomplicate: #TraMineR (base R) and #ggseqplot (CRAN update just out) offer solid tools for clear, appealing sequence data viz. @seqanalysisassn.bsky.social @popassocamerica.bsky.social

How do teenagers spend their time? 🧐

We use social sequence analysis and high-frequency time-use diaries to identify and visualise typical time-use patterns of teenagers in Germany.
