traces_contain_relation: Relation in traces

In understandBPMN: Calculator of Understandability Metrics for BPMN

Description

This functions returns true or false on whether there exists always or sometimes an (indirect) relation between two activities in a process model. This can be useful for measuring the understandability using behavioral profiles. Always means that wheneve activity 1 is part of the trace, activity 2 will some time follow activity 1. Sometimes means that there should be at least one case where there is an indirect relation and at least one case where there is not. The indirect relations between two activities due to a parallel construct are left out of scope for this function.

Usage

traces_contain_relation(repetition_and_path_log, xml_internal_doc,
  activity_1, activity_2, always = TRUE, filter_indirect = TRUE,
  precede = FALSE, alternate_response = FALSE,
  alternate_precedence = FALSE, chain_response = FALSE,
  chain_precedence = FALSE, negation_alternate_precedence = FALSE,
  negation_alternate_response = FALSE)

Arguments

repetition_and_path_log	repetition and path log list object created by the function create_repetition_and_path_log
xml_internal_doc	document object created using the create_internal_document function
activity_1	the activity name of the first activity
activity_2	the activity name of the second activity in the relation
always	a boolean value indicating whether there should be always a direct relation. If it is false, it is assumed to be tested for the sometimes case.
filter_indirect	a boolean value indicating whether indirect relations are targeted. If not, all relations are used
precede	a boolean value indicating whether precede or follows relation is tested
alternate_response	a boolean indicating whether an alternate response relation is tested
alternate_precedence	a boolean indicating whether an alternate precedence relation is tested
chain_response	a boolean indicating whether a chain response relation is tested
chain_precedence	a boolean indicating whether a chain precedence relation is tested
negation_alternate_precedence	a boolean indicating whether a negation alternate precedence relation is tested
negation_alternate_response	a boolean indicating whether a negation alternate response relation is tested

Value

a boolean value indicating whether it is true that there is always or sometimes an indirect relation between activity_1 and activity_2

Examples
