trace_length: Trace Length

In edeaR: Exploratory and Descriptive Event-Based Data Analysis

Trace Length

Description

Analysis of trace lengths

This metric provides an overview of the number of activities that occur in each trace.

An important remark is that this metric takes into account each instance of an activity, but not the individual lifecycle events.

Usage

trace_length(
  log,
  level = c("log", "trace", "case"),
  append = deprecated(),
  append_column = NULL,
  sort = TRUE,
  eventlog = deprecated()
)

## S3 method for class 'eventlog'
trace_length(
  log,
  level = c("log", "trace", "case"),
  append = deprecated(),
  append_column = NULL,
  sort = TRUE,
  eventlog = deprecated()
)

## S3 method for class 'grouped_eventlog'
trace_length(
  log,
  level = c("log", "trace", "case"),
  append = deprecated(),
  append_column = NULL,
  sort = TRUE,
  eventlog = deprecated()
)

## S3 method for class 'activitylog'
trace_length(
  log,
  level = c("log", "trace", "case"),
  append = deprecated(),
  append_column = NULL,
  sort = TRUE,
  eventlog = deprecated()
)

## S3 method for class 'grouped_activitylog'
trace_length(
  log,
  level = c("log", "trace", "case"),
  append = deprecated(),
  append_column = NULL,
  sort = TRUE,
  eventlog = deprecated()
)

Arguments

log	log: Object of class log or derivatives (grouped_log, eventlog, activitylog, etc.).
level	character (default "log"): Level of granularity for the analysis: "log" (default), "trace", or "case". For more information, see vignette("metrics", "edeaR") and Details below.
append	logical (default FALSE) : The arguments append and append_column have been deprecated in favour of augment. Indicating whether to append results to original log. Ignored when level is "log" or "trace".
append_column	The arguments append and append_column have been deprecated in favour of augment. Which of the output columns to append to log, if append = TRUE. Default column depends on chosen level.
sort	logical (default TRUE): Sort output on count. Only for levels with frequency count output.
eventlog	; please use log instead.

Details

Argument level has the following options:

• At "log" level, the summary statistics describing the trace length of cases in an aggregated fashion.

• On "trace" level, the trace length of the different process variants or traces in the log are calculated.

• On "case" level, the trace lengths for each case are computed.

Methods (by class)

• trace_length(eventlog): Computes trace length for an eventlog.

• trace_length(grouped_eventlog): Computes trace length for a grouped_eventlog.

• trace_length(activitylog): Computes trace length for an activitylog.

• trace_length(grouped_activitylog): Computes trace length for a grouped_activitylog.
