depth: Depth

In understandBPMN: Calculator of Understandability Metrics for BPMN

Description

Depth is defined as the the nesting of the process model. If there is a split gateway, the depth is increased with one. If there is a join gateway, the depth is decreased with one. The cumulative sum is taken and the maximum of the cumulative sum is calculated for each path. The nesting depth is the maximum of each path value

Usage

depth(file_path, signavio = FALSE, path_log_already_created = FALSE,
  generate_new_path_log = FALSE, time_to_generate_path_log = 1500)

Arguments

file_path	document object created using the create_internal_document function
signavio	boolean which indicates whether the file stems from signavio
path_log_already_created	boolean which indicates whether the path log has already been created before or not. When you are not sure, it is best to use the standard which is false
generate_new_path_log	used when it is not possible to save the path log such as with the Rapid miner or in unit tests and examples
time_to_generate_path_log	time which is the maximum time to generate a new path log in seconds. The standard setting is 1500 seconds.

Value

an integer indicating the depth

Examples

depth(file_path, generate_new_path_log = TRUE)
