An “asymmetric” pairwise distance matrix
问题 Suppose there are three sequences to be compared: a, b, and c. Traditionally, the resulting 3-by-3 pairwise distance matrix is symmetric , indicating that the distance from a to b is equal to the distance from b to a. I am wondering if TraMineR provides some way to produce an asymmetric pairwise distance matrix. 回答1: No, TraMineR does not produce 'assymetric' dissimilaries precisely for the reasons stressed in Pat's comment. The main interest of computing pairwise dissimilarities between
