This function creates a coded vector. Coded vectors are used to represent sequences of symbols from a finite alphabet. Each symbol should be coded as an integer using a bijective mapping.
coded_vec(x, type, metadata = list())
| x | (Integer vector) The coded sequence. |
|---|---|
| type | (Character scalar) Identifies the symbol |
| metadata | (List) A (possibly-empty) list of metadata information. |
An object of class "coded_vec".
