Simplify a trajectory by removing transient milestones

Source: R/simplify_trajectory.R

Transient milestones are milestones with a degree of two (if undirected) or with an indegree of one and outdegree of one (if directed)

simplify_trajectory(trajectory, allow_self_loops = FALSE)

Arguments

trajectory

The trajectory as created by infer_trajectory() or add_trajectory()
allow_self_loops

Whether or not to allow self loops.

Details

The positions of the cells within the trajectory remain the same

A -> B -> C is simplified to A -> C.

A — B — C is simplified to A — C.

A -> B -> C -> D -> A is simplified to A -> B -> D.
