What exactly does the correlation number express in the root cause analysis in the conformance checking tool?
Dear Tobias,

Thank you for reaching out.

Please be informed that correlation is a lift correlation. For more information please check this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_(data_mining)

Many thanks and best regards,
Tringa

Thanks for your Answer. I hope, that I didn't make a mistake. I try to understand the "correlation" with the P2P Practise Data-Set with 1,116,080 cases. It says that the "Umbrella Cooperation" has 50,716 violations and a correlation of 5.137 (see the attached screenshot).

 

To calculate the lift according to Wikipedia I calulate: lift correlation = (violating cases with "Umbrella Cooperation" / all cases with "Umbrella Cooperation")/(all cases with "Umbrella Cooperation"/all cases)

 

That means in practise: lift correlation = (50,716/72,448)/(72,448/1,116,080) = 10.784

 

Did I do a mistake while calculating?

 

Best regards


My understanding is the correlation expresses statistical significance. Have you had an opportunity to review help pages: https://docs.celonis.com/en/conformance-checker.html#UUID-c01ab242-ea87-4cf6-2423-2e0b523e98fb_id_ConformanceChecker-Performrootcauseanalysis
The described: "The percentage of conforming cases according to the defined process model."


The overview section provides statistics on overall process conformance, the numerical impact of non-conformance on KPIs, and deviations from the process model detected by the conformance algorithm.

see below
lift = conformance % of all cases / conformance % of cases with umbrella corp; I believe we have a meeting set and look at this closer.

Dear Thomas,

the help pages did not provide an appropriate answer.

 

Thank you for trying to help me with my problem. I look forward to your response as soon as you are able to find the solution.

 

Best regards


I am sending an invite out - do you think we can connect for 1-minutes tomorrow?


Good newss! The math checks outmatth-it-correct. I had 72228, and I needed to use 72448.

My fault I will close.
