## 📊 AI Algorithms Explained

### Performance Prediction Algorithm
```php
function predictStudentPerformance($history) {
    // Weighted average of recent performances (50-30-20 rule)
    // Adds realistic variance (±5 marks)
    // Considers consistency and trend direction
}
```

### Risk Assessment Factors
1. **Academic Performance** (40% weight)
   - Average marks calculation
   - Fail subject penalties
   - Low performance consistency

2. **Attendance** (25% weight)
   - Class participation rates
   - Exam attendance patterns

3. **Consistency** (20% weight)
   - Standard deviation analysis
   - Performance volatility measurement

4. **Improvement Trend** (15% weight)
   - Linear regression slope calculation
   - Positive/negative trajectory detection

### Recommendation Generation Logic
- **Study Tips**: Subject-specific learning strategies
- **Focus Areas**: Weak component identification (CQ/MCQ/Practical)
- **Improvement Strategies**: Targeted action plans
- **Warnings**: Critical alerts for failing students

## 🔒 Security & Access Control

- **Students**: Can view their own performance analytics and recommendations
- **Teachers**: Can view analytics for their assigned students
- **Admins**: Full access to all analytics and system functions
- All data is filtered by user roles and permissions

## 📈 Sample Analytics Provided

### Dashboard Metrics
- Average Performance (%)
- Pass Rate (%)
- At-Risk Student Count
- Top Performer Count
- Performance Trends (Up/Down/Stable)

### Detailed Analysis
- Subject-wise performance comparisons
- Individual student progress tracking
- Risk factor breakdowns
- Personalized improvement suggestions

## 🔄 Data Processing

The system processes existing student data from:
- `results` table (marks and grades)
- `students` table (demographics)
- `subjects` table (curriculum information)
- Historical performance patterns

## 📝 Best Practices

1. **Regular Updates**: Run predictions and assessments monthly
2. **Data Quality**: Ensure accurate marks entry for better predictions
3. **Actionable Insights**: Review recommendations and implement suggested strategies
4. **Early Intervention**: Act on high-risk alerts promptly
5. **Performance Monitoring**: Track improvement after implementing recommendations

## 🆘 Troubleshooting

### Common Issues
1. **No Data Displaying**: Ensure database tables are created via setup
2. **Empty Recommendations**: Run "Generate Recommendations" first
3. **Permission Errors**: Check user roles and access levels
4. **Slow Loading**: Run setup to create analytics cache tables

### Getting Help
- Check browser console for JavaScript errors
- Verify database connections in `config/database.php`
- Ensure all required tables exist in the database

## 📅 Future Enhancements

Planned features for upcoming versions:
- Integration with SMS notification system
- Parent portal access to student analytics
- Automated email reports
- Advanced machine learning models
