Event Log Mining with R

Event logs are everywhere and represent a prime source of Big Data. Event log sources run the gamut from e-commerce web servers to devices participating in globally distributed Internet of Things (IoT) architectures. Even Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems produce event logs.

Given the rich and varied data contained in event logs, mining these assets is a critical skill needed by every Data Scientist, Business/Data Analyst, and Program/Product Manager. In this introduction, we will show how easy it is to get started mining your event logs using the OSS tools of R and ProM.
