我试图编写一个简单的R序列聚类/分组/简化解决方案。我是一个初学者，没有使用R一段时间，所以请原谅简单而愚蠢的问题/解决方案。任务来自SAP，它们代表P2P流程的执行。
概述：
输入：经过一些建议后，我认为输入数据应该覆盖单词而不是它们的ID（我们不想比较数字而是简化单词序列）
选项1：SAP P2P中的步骤序列，如：
Sequence 1:Purchase Order/NB > Goods Receipt/TA > Invoice Receipt/NA > Goods Receipt/TA
Sequence 2:Purchase Order/NB > Goods Receipt/TA > Invoice Receipt/NA
我的数据集包含大约700个序列（测试100），它们都是短（5步）和长（甚至超过50）。
问题是我没有（在结果解释期间）想要比较所有700个序列，但我想以某种方式区分相似的序列。通常，特别是对于长序列，在20步之后发现差异，例如：
Seq1：PR＆gt; PO＆gt; GR＆gt; IR＆gt; GR＆gt; IR ＆gt; GR＆gt; IR＆gt;付款
Seq2：PR＆gt; PO＆gt; GR＆gt; IR＆gt; IR＆gt; GR ＆gt; GR＆gt; IR＆gt;付款
最后，它应该导致流程执行中的效率低下。 我的问题是，你有什么建议我如何处理问题之王？在阅读您的评论后，我不认为聚类方法是正确的。我不太关心我们是否应该使用集群或其他东西，重要的是简化流程。
我会感谢任何提示，建议等。
测试数据（＆gt;用作分隔符）。
