Member Function Documentation

◆ add_sample_data()

core_analytics\calculable::add_sample_data ( $data)
inherited

add_sample_data

Parameters
array$data
Return values
void

◆ add_shared_calculation_info()

core_analytics\calculable::add_shared_calculation_info ( int $sampleid,
array $info )
finalprotectedinherited

Adds info related to the current calculation for later use when generating insights.

Note that the data in $info array is reused across multiple samples, if you want to add data just for this sample you can use the sample id as key.

Please, note that you should be careful with how much data you add here as it can kill the server memory.

Parameters
int$sampleidThe sample id this data is associated with
array$infoThe data. Indexed by an id unique across the site. E.g. an activity id.
Return values
null

◆ calculate()

core_analytics\local\indicator\base::calculate ( $sampleids,
$samplesorigin,
$starttime = false,
$endtime = false,
$existingcalculations = array() )
inherited

Calculates the indicator.

Returns an array of values which size matches $sampleids size.

Parameters
int[]$sampleids
string$samplesorigin
integer$starttimeLimit the calculation to this timestart
integer$endtimeLimit the calculation to this timeend
array$existingcalculationsExisting calculations of this indicator, indexed by sampleid.
Return values
array[0] = [$sampleid => int[]|float[]], [1] = [$sampleid => int|float], [2] = [$sampleid => $sampleid]

◆ calculate_sample()

core_analytics\local\indicator\base::calculate_sample ( $sampleid,
$sampleorigin,
$starttime,
$endtime )
abstractprotectedinherited

◆ classify_value()

core_analytics\calculable::classify_value ( $value,
$ranges )
protectedinherited

Classifies the provided value into the provided range according to the ranges predicates.

Use:

  • eq as 'equal'
  • ne as 'not equal'
  • lt as 'lower than'
  • le as 'lower or equal than'
  • gt as 'greater than'
  • ge as 'greater or equal than'

Return values

◆ fill_per_analysable_caches()

core_analytics\local\indicator\base::fill_per_analysable_caches ( \core_analytics\analysable $analysable)
inherited

Hook to allow indicators to pre-fill data that is shared accross time range calculations.

Useful to fill analysable-dependant data that does not depend on the time ranges. Use instance vars to cache data that can be re-used across samples calculations but changes between time ranges (indicator instances are reset between time ranges to avoid unexpected problems).

You are also responsible of emptying previous analysable caches.

void

Reimplemented in core_analytics\local\indicator\community_of_inquiry_activity.

Return values
float

◆ get_name()

staticabstractinherited

Returns a lang_string object representing the name for the indicator or target.

Used as column identificator.

If there is a corresponding '_help' string this will be shown as well.

Return values
lang_string
