See : http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Quiz_item_analysis_calculations_in_practise #Calculating_MEAN_of_grades_for_all_attempts_by_students

Parameters
int$quizid
core::dml::sql_join$groupstudentsjoinsContains joins, wheres, params for students in this group.
Return values
stdClasswith properties with count and avg with prefixes firstattempts, highestattempts, etc.

◆ calculate()

quiz_statistics\calculator::calculate (   $quizid,

Compute the quiz statistics.

Parameters
int$quizidthe quiz id.
int$whichattemptswhich attempts to use, represented internally as one of the constants as used in $quiz->grademethod ie. QUIZ_GRADEAVERAGE, QUIZ_GRADEHIGHEST, QUIZ_ATTEMPTLAST or QUIZ_ATTEMPTFIRST we calculate stats based on which attempts would affect the grade for each student.
core::dml::sql_join$groupstudentsjoinsContains joins, wheres, params for students in this group.
int$pnumber of positions (slots).
float$sumofmarkvariancesum of mark variance, calculated as part of question statistics
Return values

◆ using_attempts_lang_string()

static quiz_statistics\calculator::using_attempts_lang_string (   $whichattempts)
static

Given a particular quiz grading method return a lang string describing which attempts contribute to grade.

Note internally we use the grading method constants to represent which attempts we are calculating statistics for, each grading method corresponds to different attempts for each user.

Parameters
int$whichattemptswhich attempts to use, represented internally as one of the constants as used in $quiz->grademethod ie. QUIZ_GRADEAVERAGE, QUIZ_GRADEHIGHEST, QUIZ_ATTEMPTLAST or QUIZ_ATTEMPTFIRST we calculate stats based on which attempts would affect the grade for each student.
Return values
stringthe appropriate lang string to describe this option.

◆ using_attempts_string_id()

static quiz_statistics\calculator::using_attempts_string_id (   $whichattempts)
static

Given a particular quiz grading method return a string id for use as a field name prefix in mdl_quiz_statistics or to fetch the appropriate language string describing which attempts contribute to grade.

Note internally we use the grading method constants to represent which attempts we are calculating statistics for, each grading method corresponds to different attempts for each user.

Parameters
int$whichattemptswhich attempts to use, represented internally as one of the constants as used in $quiz->grademethod ie. QUIZ_GRADEAVERAGE, QUIZ_GRADEHIGHEST, QUIZ_ATTEMPTLAST or QUIZ_ATTEMPTFIRST we calculate stats based on which attempts would affect the grade for each student.
Return values
stringthe string id for this option.
