Your Task

Obtain a good overview of the tables in the TdLM database, what these tables contain, how these tables are linked together, and which ones are the most important for this project.

Don’t be a Data Dic (tionary) about this…

This article assumes that you are able to connect to the TdlM database successfully (database connection post).

A reminder that these are the tables available to us in TdlM database are.

tm_db_tables <- dbListTables(tm_db)

A Data Dic(tionary) Pic: An Overview of the Plan

To formulate our basic data dictionary, we are going to go one by one through these 23 tables, perform a simple query to sample the data and infer what the table and data pertains to. Basic data summaries will be performed on these tables to get a sense of potential distribution of values, and any missing values.

In the spirit automation, we will be querying each table through a for loop, cycling through the tables names provided above. This means we won’t be repeating too much work, and if tables are added or changed in the future, we can re-run the code quickly to obtain new samples for inspection.

Fulll details of the deep dive can be found in the appendix

Summary of Findings

Based on the deep dive, here is a brief summary of each table and a heuristic categorisation (Tier) of how important they are to this project. This categorisation could be used for prioritisation purposes in ensuring that this data is collected in a timely manner, and that we have high quality data for them.1

  • Tier 1: Essential and fundamental to The Median Duck project. High data quality required to make the project successful. Data Collection of these tables should be prioritised in the case of an emergency.
  • Tier 2: Currently not essential, but may be required at a later date, particularly once performing additional investigations and deep dives.
  • Tier 3: Good auxiliary and insights tables, but not essential to The Median Duck.

The series table indicates, TdlM only contains data associated with the UK series of Taskmaste (both regular and New Years Treat).

Through this deep dive, I also observed that the data output obtained from this R connection, can be less intuitive and comprehensible than that presented throught the Datasette website interface. It is possible that some front end processing is occurring for the website which uses the intrinsic links between the tables to provide intuitive, comprehensible data records. The use of REFERENCES <table>(id) in the CREATE TABLE statement is likely an indication of how this data linked together.

For example compare the output in the episode_scores table, when querying through R and through the Datasette website.

The episode, contestant columns are numerical in the the R output, whilst they are meaning strings in the website output; namely the actual episode titles, and contestants full names.

This indicates some additional work will likely be required in R to get data in this in this similarly intuitive and informative manner. Datasette will have the benefit that some of this back end processing has already been performed, and a lower barrier to entry. Saying this, if execute the raw SQL query directly on the Datasette website, we do get the less intuitive data (link).

query <- "SELECT id, episode, contestant, score, rank, series, srank FROM episode_scores WHERE \"id\" >= 51 AND \"id\" <= 55 ORDER BY id LIMIT 101"

Output from the database file through R:

Output from Datasette website:

Final Thoughts

There are 10 tables in the TdlM database which we consider to be essential to the The Median Duck project. These tables are attempts, episode_scores, episodes, people, series, series_scores, task_winners, tasks, team_tasks, teams.

Appendix Details

Comprehensive details on how the data dictionary and heuristic ranking came to be. Data samples and summary statistics also provided.

Be warned, it’s very dry and not for the faint heartened! You do however get to see my coding standards and commentary style however.

library(Hmisc)  #Library/Function to provide data summaries.

# Initially empty list to contain the data frame samples.
data_sample_list <- list()
sample_size <- 10

# For each table...

# Perform a SELECT * FROM {tbl} query to pull data.

# Randomly sample data using R, and also get summary statistics

# Add data sample to list for easy access.
for (iter in 1:length(tm_db_tables)) {
    tbl <- tm_db_tables[iter]
    select_query <- sprintf("SELECT * FROM %s", tbl)

    set.seed(1234)  # Set seed for reproducibility.

    query_output <- dbGetQuery(tm_db, select_query)

    # Random sample from table
    table_sample <- query_output[sample(1:nrow(query_output), size = sample_size), ]

    # Summary statistics for entire table
    table_summary <- Hmisc::describe(query_output)

    # List of two objects
    table_list <- list(data_sample = table_sample, data_summary = table_summary)

    data_sample_list[[iter]] <- table_list
}


# Give the list items the table names we have queried from
data_sample_list <- setNames(data_sample_list, tm_db_tables)

attempts

The attempts table table fundamentally captures each contestants attempt at each task; that is for each task, contestant the points awarded from their task attempt (points) and their ranking with respect to the other contestants (rank).

Information is also provided to the team id (if the task is a team task), and the location id of where the task was held.

  • N.B. episode and series here denotes the contestant’s cumulative episode and series score respectively.
  • adjustmentis present to adjust for series bias??
  • PO denotes the Presentation Order, the order in which the contestants attempts was presented in the recording. 0 denotes simultaneous presentation of the attempts.

discrepancies

The discrepancies table exists “to account for the two whole points that have gone misplaced in the history of TMUK” 2

The table has the series, episode, contestant, task that caused the discrepancy, and the discrepancy between observed and official (truth??). The data summary shows that there are only 10 observations so this table is unlikely to be a top priority.

intros

The intros table has information associated with the intro sequence for each series. This intro sequence is assumed to remain the same across all episodes within the same series (except for the end shot which features the episode title).

The intro sequence has been decomposed into which person is featured (person is not limited to contestants and can include Greg or Little Alex Horne), and the task it is taken from. The clip field does not seem to have much meaning in its R form, but inspecting this data through the Datasette website highlights that this links to a mp4 of that particular part of the intro on imgur.com. 4

measurements

The measurements table table details for a particular task, contestant, the measurable outcome of their attempt.

For example, the duration of the time the task lasted for (either to successful completion, or until failure termination) or the longest distance travelled. The objective column provides insight into the units of the measurement and the objective (for example most, least, closest).

Care is likely required on the measurement field as to how inconclusive measurements are handed (was not observed and thus measured) and disqualifications.

normalized_scores

The normalized_scores table attempts to normalise scores across contestants for a particular task in an episode. This normalisation is required when bonus points are awarded in addition to the main tasak, and to handle ranking ties (two or more contestants achieved the same measurement and/or points in a task attempt), different ranking strategies are employed to handle ties.

Columns:

  • base is the number of points awarded by the Taskmaster without the bonus points. These will typically be valued 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, although the data also suggests it can be negative on a few rare occasions. These are typically when Alex is being particularly mischievous (e.g. lose points if you don’t do the tasks correctly).
  • points is the number of points awarded including the bonus points or the Taskmaster going rogue.
  • adjustment is the difference between points and base.
  • rank is the ranking of contestant according to the base column, that is before bonus points are rewarded.
  • rigid is the tidiest normalisation of points where 5 points are awarded for 1st, 4 for 2nd etc.
  • spread evenly distributes the points across the tied contestants.
  • scale scores are normalised such that no score exceed a maximum of 5. Previously tried to scale scores so that the sum was 15.
  • 5+3, 3+2 and 3½+2½ are normalisation tactics for team tasks.

tasks

The tasks table has high level data about tasks that is mostly independent of the contestants and the outcome. This includes the series and episode that the task featured in, the main summary of the task. Categorisation of the task is also available such as whether it is a subjective or objective task, if it is TM UK original, if it was filmed or live.

  • The location field in this table is not limited to the special_locations but also the whereabouts in the TM house, and the studio.
  • The points field highlights the total number of points distributed to contestants by the Taskmaster.
  • std is a flag to denote whether the task was standard (one having 5 judged attempts)
  • YT is a YouTube link to the corresponding episode and timestamp of that particular task.

teams

The teams table provides information on teams, regardless of the tasks themselves. The contestants who make up the team members, the size of the team, and whether the team is irregular or not, are also outlined.

An irregular team occurs on the rare occasion when the a team for a live task differs to the previous tasks (pre-recorded or live). This namely occurred in Series 9 when someone wanted to the see rage of Ed Gamble, and Series 10’s hippogate.

  1. This is definitely the corporate side of me talking. If you’ve ever experienced with dealing with large scale systems with multiple moving parts, limited resources and knowing what hard bottlenecks in your work, you’ll know what I mean.↩︎

  2. Honestly, I didn’t know that points had gone misplaced. I should return my card to the TM fan club…↩︎

  3. I’m not a big fan of “1=”, etc. being used to denote a tied ranking. It ultimately means the field is no longer an integer and needs additional care to be treated correctly.↩︎

  4. I’m very surprised that such a dataset exists, and someone has gone to the effort of dissecting each intro sequence to such a minutiae. Saying that, this is the TM fan base…↩︎
