The goal of processcheckR is to support rule-based conformance checking. Currently the following declarative rules can be checked:
Cardinality rules:
contains: activity occurs n times or morecontains_exactly: activity occurs exactly n timescontains_between: activity occures between min and max number of timesabsent: activity does not occur more than n - 1 timesOrdering rules:
starts: case starts with activityends: case ends with activitysuccession: if activity A happens, B should happen after. If B happens, A should have happened before.response: if activity A happens, B should happen afterprecedence: if activity B happens, A should have happend beforeresponded_existence: if activity A happens, B should also (have) happen(ed) (i.e. before or after A)Exclusiveness:
and: two activities always exist togetherxor: two activities are not allowed to exist togetherRules can be checked using the check_rule function (see example below). It will create a new logical variable to indicate for which cases the rule holds. The name of the variable can be configured using the label argument in check_rule.
