Trajectories that fed into a target (confluence)

Returns the target trajectory's direct tributaries: its children in the confluence tree, the trajectories whose terminal cohort was absorbed into target. The result is the formation shape that plot_trajectory_formation() renders.

Usage

sniff_trajectory_formation(x, ...)

Arguments

x

A sniff_trajectory_braid() object.

...

target (a traj_id), then min_papers (default 5) and min_prop (default 0.05), the thresholds behind the feeders' kept flag.

Value

A formation list (target, target_info, feeders, total_inflow, last_year). The feeders carry n_dest (the feeder's documents that end in the target's final community) and target_info carries final_size (the target's final-year size); plot_trajectory_formation() uses these for its labels.
