ProM Tips — How to Split up an Event Log?
Wolfgang asked me the following question today:
Is there a log filter in ProM that splits an event log in two logs? The first log should contain all instances that executed a specific activity ‘X’. The second log contains all the other instances, i.e., those that did not execute activity ‘X’.
Because I get the same question more often, I figured that I share it here with you so that more people can benefit from it.
The answer is that there is no log filter that does that. Instead the LTL Checker plug-in can be used. Here is a step-by-step description:
-
Open the log and select the LTL Checker from the Analysis menu
-
Then select formula ‘eventually_activity_A’
-
Provide the name of the activity as parameter A (so that would be ‘X’)
-
Press the button Check formula
-
Choose Export -> Correct instances -> Efficient MXML.GZ Export from the menu to export the log with all process instances that contain ‘X’
-
Use Export -> Incorrect instances -> Efficient MXML.GZ Export to export those process instances that do not contain ‘X’
Here is a screenshot, where I export a log that contains only cases for which activity ‘Inbound Email’ was performed at some point in time.
There are a whole lot more ways to split up the event log. Check out the LTL Checker manual, which is located in the documentation folder of your ProM installation!
