Process mining techniques generate valuable insights in business processes using automatically generated process execution data. However, despite the extensive opportunities that process mining techniques provide, the garbage in - garbage out principle still applies. Data quality issues are widespread in real-life data and can generate misleading results when used for analysis purposes. Currently, there is no systematic way to perform data quality assessment on process-oriented data. To fill this gap, we introduce DaQAPO - Data Quality Assessment for Process-Oriented data. It provides a set of assessment functions to identify a wide array of quality issues.
We identify two stages in the data quality assessment process:
If the user desires to remove anomalies detected by quality tests, he has the ability to do so.
Before we can perform the first stage - reading data - we must have access to the appropriate data sources and have knowledge of the expected data structure. Our package supports two input data formats:
Two example datasets are included in daqapo
. These are
hospital
and hospital_events
. Below, you can
find their respective structures.

Both datasets were artificially created merely to illustrate the package’s functionalities.
First of all, data must be read and prepared such that the quality
assessment tests can be executed. Data preparation requires transforming
the dataset to a standardised activity log format. However, earlier we
mentioned two input data formats: an activity log and an event log. When
an event log is available, it needs to be converted to an activity log.
daqapo
provides a set of functions, with the aid of
bupaR
, to assist the user in this process.
As mentioned earlier, the goal of reading and preparing data is to obtain a standardised activity log format. When your source data is already in this format, preparations come down to the following elements:
POSIXct
timestamp formatFor this section, the dataset hospital
will be used to
illustrate data preparations. Three main functions help the user to
prepare his/her own dataset:
rename
convert_timestamp
activitylog
The activity log object adds a mapping to the data frame to link each
column with its specific meaning. In this regard, the timestamp columns
each represent a different lifecycle state. daqapo
must
know which column is which, requiring standardised timestamp names. The
accepted timestamp values are:
The two timestamps required by daqapo
are start and
complete.
%>%
hospital rename(start = start_ts,
complete = complete_ts) -> hospital
Each timestamp must also be in the POSIXct
format.
%>%
hospital convert_timestamps(c("start","complete"), format = dmy_hms) -> hospital
When the timestamps are edited to the desired format, the activity log object can be created along with the required mapping.
%>%
hospital activitylog(case_id = "patient_visit_nr",
activity_id = "activity",
resource_id = "originator",
timestamps = c("start", "complete")) -> hospital
With event logs, things are a bit more complex. In an event log, each
row represents only a part of an activity instance. Therefore, more
complex data transformations must be executed and several problems could
arise. In this section, we will use an event log variant of the activity
log used earlier, named hospital_events
.
hospital_events#> # A tibble: 106 x 8
#> patient_visit_nr activity originator event_lifecycle~ timestamp triagecode
#> <dbl> <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr> <dbl>
#> 1 510 registrati~ Clerk 9 start 20/11/20~ 3
#> 2 510 registrati~ Clerk 9 complete 20/11/20~ 3
#> 3 510 Triage Nurse 27 start 20/11/20~ 3
#> 4 510 Triage Nurse 27 complete 20/11/20~ 3
#> 5 510 Clinical e~ Doctor 7 start 20/11/20~ NA

#> 10 512 Triage Nurse 27 complete 20/11/20~ 3
#> # ... with 96 more rows, and 2 more variables: specialization <chr>,
#> # event_matching <dbl>
The same principle regarding the timestamps apply. Therefore, the
POSIXct
format must be applied in advance. Additionally,
the event log object also requires an activity instance id. If needed,
one can be created manually as illustrated below.
The following functions form the building blocks of the required data preparation, but not all must be called to obtain a fully prepared activity log at all times:
convert_timestamps
assign_instance_id
check/fix_resource_inconsistencies
standardize_lifecycle
eventlog
to_activitylog
