COVAR_SAMP¶

Returns the sample covariance for non-null pairs in a group. It is computed for non-null pairs using the following formula:

(SUM(x*y) - SUM(x) * SUM(y) / COUNT(*)) / (COUNT(*) - 1)

Where x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable.

Syntax¶

Aggregate function

COVAR_SAMP( y , x )
Copy

Window function

COVAR_SAMP( y , x ) OVER ( [ PARTITION BY <expr1> ] )
Copy

Usage Notes¶

  • DISTINCT is not supported for this function.

  • When used as a window function:

    • This function does not support:

      • ORDER BY sub-clause in the OVER() clause.

      • Window frames.

Examples¶

CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE aggr(k int, v decimal(10,2), v2 decimal(10, 2));
INSERT INTO aggr VALUES(1, 10, NULL);
INSERT INTO aggr VALUES(2, 10, 11), (2, 20, 22), (2, 25, NULL), (2, 30, 35);
Copy
SELECT k, COVAR_SAMP(v, v2) FROM aggr GROUP BY k;
