structuredness: Structuredness

Description

Structuredness measures to which extent the process model can be divided into block structured structures (matching gateways) Calculation: 1 - size of reduced process model / size of normal process model To get the reduced process model, the following rules are applied: -removal of trivial constructs (one incoming and one outgoing sequence flow) -removal of matching gateways (for loops, this means first a join then a split, for all other gateways, it's the other way around) -loops with other than XOR-gateways and non-matching gateways are kept -gateways which are the consequence of multiple start or end events are removed

Usage

structuredness(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 structuredness

Examples

# NOT RUN {
structuredness(file_path, generate_new_path_log = TRUE)
# }
