idle_time: Metric: Idle Time

In gertjanssenswillen/edeaR: Exploratory and Descriptive Event-Based Data Analysis

Description

Calculates the amount of time that no activity occurs.

Usage

idle_time(eventlog, level, append, append_column, units, ...)

## S3 method for class 'eventlog'
idle_time(eventlog, level = c("log", "case", "trace",
  "resource"), append = FALSE, append_column = NULL,
  units = c("days", "hours", "mins", "secs", "weeks"), sort = TRUE,
  ...)

## S3 method for class 'grouped_eventlog'
idle_time(eventlog, level = c("log", "case",
  "trace", "resource"), append = FALSE, append_column = NULL,
  units = c("days", "hours", "mins", "secs", "weeks"), sort = TRUE,
  ...)

Arguments

eventlog	The dataset to be used. Should be a (grouped) eventlog object. eventlog.
level	Level of granularity for the analysis: log, case, trace, or resource. For more information, see vignette("metrics", "edeaR")
append	Logical, indicating whether to append results to original event log. Ignored when level is log or trace.
append_column	Which of the output columns to append to log, if append = T. Default column depends on chosen level.
units	Time units to be used
...	Deprecated arguments
sort	Sort by decreasing idle time. Defaults to true. Only relevant voor trace and resource level.

Details

• On the level of the complete event log, the idle time metric provides an overview of summary statistics of the idle time per case, aggregated over the complete event log.

• The metric applied on the level of the specific cases in the event log provides an overview of the total idle time per case

• On the level of the different traces that occur in the event log, the idle time metric provides an overview of the summary statistics of the idle time for each trace in the event log.

• The metric can also be of interest on the level of the resources, to get an insight in the amount of time each resource \"wastes\" during the process.

Methods (by class)

• eventlog: Compute the idle time for eventlog

• grouped_eventlog: Compute idle time for grouped eventlog
