add_shared_calculation_info()

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

finalprotectedinherited

enrolment_active_during_analysis_time()

core_course\analytics\target\course_enrolments::enrolment_active_during_analysis_time ( int $sampleid, int $starttime, int $endtime )

protectedinherited

Is/was this user enrolment active during most of the analysis interval?

This method discards enrolments that were not active during most of the analysis interval. It is important to discard these enrolments because the indicator calculations can lead to misleading results.

Note that this method assumes that the target is interested in enrolments that are/were active during the analysis interval. Targets interested in predicting students at risk before their enrolment start should not call this method. Similarly, targets interested in getting predictions for students whose enrolment already finished should not call this method either.

int	$starttime	The analysis interval start time
int	$endtime	The analysis interval end time

Return values

bool
