pm4py.filtering.filter_variants_top_k(log: EventLog | DataFrame, k: int, activity_key: str = 'concept:name', timestamp_key: str = 'time:timestamp', case_id_key: str = 'case:concept:name') → EventLog | DataFrame

Keeps the top-k variants of the log

Parameters:

• log – event log / Pandas dataframe

• k (int) – number of variants that should be kept

• 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:

Union[EventLog, pd.DataFrame]
