add_sample_data()

core_analytics\calculable::add_sample_data

(

$data

)

add_sample_data

Parameters

array

$data

Return values

void

add_shared_calculation_info()

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

finalprotected

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	$sampleid	The sample id this data is associated with
array	$info	The data. Indexed by an id unique across the site. E.g. an activity id.

Return values

null

classify_value()

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

protected

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'

Exceptions

Parameters

int | float	$value
array	$ranges	e.g. [ ['lt', 20], ['ge', 20] ]

The class id is the calculable class full qualified class name.

Return values

string

get_name()

get_time_range_weeks_number()

core_analytics\calculable::get_time_range_weeks_number (   $starttime,   $endtime  )

protected

Returns the number of weeks a time range contains.

Useful for calculations that depend on the time range duration. Note that it returns a float, rounding the float may lead to inaccurate results.

Parameters

int	$starttime
int	$endtime

Return values

float

limit_value()

core_analytics\calculable::limit_value (   $calculatedvalue )

protected

Limits the calculated value to the minimum and maximum values.

Parameters

float

$calculatedvalue

Return values

float|null

retrieve()

core_analytics\calculable::retrieve (   $elementname,   $sampleid  )

protected

Retrieve the specified element associated to $sampleid.

Parameters

string	$elementname
int	$sampleid

Return values

stdClass|false

An stdClass object or false if it can not be found.

save_calculation_info()

core_analytics\calculable::save_calculation_info ( \core_analytics\local\time_splitting\base  $timesplitting, int  $rangeindex  )

final

Stores in MUC the previously added data and it associates it to the provided $calculable.

Flagged as final as we don't want people to extend this, it is likely to be moved to core_analytics\calculable

Parameters

core_analytics\local\time_splitting\base	$timesplitting
int	$rangeindex

Return values

null
