Problem with Enterprise Security Correlation Search

This Enterprise Security correlation search "Anomalous Audit Trail Activity Detected" is generating a whole bunch of false positives.

| from datamodel:"Change_Analysis"."Auditing_Changes" | where ('action'="cleared" OR 'action'="stopped") | stats max(_time) as "lastTime",latest(_raw) as "orig_raw",count by "dest","result" | rename "result" as "signature"

The search returns results if tag=audit or change and action=cleared or stopped. Windows Security Event ID 1100 meets the conditions. The event is generated when the logging service is shutdown, say by someone trying to hide their tracks, but it's also generated during normal system shutdown. I'm trying to fix the search.

I want to exclude an 1100 event if an event 4647 also occurs within a span of 1 minute.

I don't know if I'm on the right track or not. I've got this search written but I'm not sure how to merge it with the correlation search.

index="winevtsec" sourcetype="WinEventLog:Security" | transaction host startswith="EventCode=4647" endswith="EventCode=1100" maxspan=1m

Any help would be appreciated.
