Filter Start and End Activities

Source: R/filter_endpoints.R
filter_endpoints.Rd

Filters the log based on a provided set of start and end activities

The filter_endpoints method filters cases based on the first and last activity label. It can be used in two ways: by specifying vectors with allowed start activities and/or allowed end activities, or by specifying a percentile. In the latter case, the percentile value will be used as a cut off. For example, when set to 0.9, it will select the most common endpoint pairs which together cover at least 90% of the cases, and filter the log accordingly.

Usage

filter_endpoints(
  log,
  start_activities = NULL,
  end_activities = NULL,
  percentage = NULL,
  reverse = FALSE,
  eventlog = deprecated()
)

# S3 method for log
filter_endpoints(
  log,
  start_activities = NULL,
  end_activities = NULL,
  percentage = NULL,
  reverse = FALSE,
  eventlog = deprecated()
)

# S3 method for grouped_log
filter_endpoints(
  log,
  start_activities = NULL,
  end_activities = NULL,
  percentage = NULL,
  reverse = FALSE,
  eventlog = deprecated()
)

Arguments

log

log: Object of class log or derivatives (grouped_log, eventlog, activitylog, etc.).

start_activities, end_activities

character vector (default NULL): A vector of activity identifiers, or NULL.

percentage

numeric (default NULL): A percentage p to be used as percentile cut off. When this is used, the most common endpoint-pairs will be selected until at least the p% of the cases are selected.

reverse

logical (default FALSE): Indicating whether the selection should be reversed.

eventlog

[Deprecated]; please use log instead.

Value

When given an object of type log, it will return a filtered log. When given an object of type grouped_log, the filter will be applied in a stratified way (i.e. each separately for each group). The returned log will be grouped on the same variables as the original log.

Methods (by class)

  • filter_endpoints(log): Filters cases for a log.

  • filter_endpoints(grouped_log): Filters cases for a grouped_log.
