pm4py.discovery.discover_temporal_profile(log: EventLog | DataFrame, activity_key: str = 'concept:name', timestamp_key: str = 'time:timestamp', case_id_key: str = 'case:concept:name') Dict[Tuple[str, str], Tuple[float, float]][source]#

Discovers a temporal profile from a log object.

Implements the approach described in: Stertz, Florian, Jürgen Mangler, and Stefanie Rinderle-Ma. “Temporal Conformance Checking at Runtime based on Time-infused Process Models.” arXiv preprint arXiv:2008.07262 (2020).

The output is a dictionary containing, for every couple of activities eventually following in at least a case of the log, the average and the standard deviation of the difference of the timestamps.

E.g. if the log has two cases:

A (timestamp: 1980-01) B (timestamp: 1980-03) C (timestamp: 1980-06) A (timestamp: 1990-01) B (timestamp: 1990-02) D (timestamp: 1990-03)

The returned dictionary will contain: {(‘A’, ‘B’): (1.5 months, 0.5 months), (‘A’, ‘C’): (5 months, 0), (‘A’, ‘D’): (2 months, 0)}

Parameters:
  • log – event log / Pandas dataframe

  • activity_key (str) – attribute to be used for the activity

  • timestamp_key (str) – attribute to be used for the timestamp

  • case_id_key (str) – attribute to be used as case identifier

Return type:

Dict[Tuple[str, str], Tuple[float, float]]
