Arguments

eventlog

The dataset to be used. Should be a (grouped) eventlog object. eventlog.

level

Level of granularity for the analysis: log, case, 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.

Details

This can give a company an overview of which resources are performing certain activities more than others, and which resources are responsible for containing all knowledge or capabilities on one topic.

  • On the level of the complete event log, this metric provides summary statistics on the number of distinct activities executed per resource.

  • On the level of the cases, this metric provides the number of distinct activities that are executed within each case together with the summary statistics of the distinct activities executed per resource in each case.

  • On the level of the distinct activities, this metric provides an overview of the absolute and relative number of different resources executing this activity within the complete event log. This will give a company insights in which activities resources are specialised in.

  • Finally, the resource specialisation can also be calculated on the resource level, showing the absolute and relative number of distinct activities that each resource executes.

Methods (by class)

  • eventlog: Resource specialization for eventlog

  • grouped_eventlog: Resource specialization for grouped eventlog
