Standard Deviation for SQLite

问题


I've searched the SQLite docs and couldn't find anything, but I've also searched on Google and a few results appeared.

Does SQLite have any built-in Standard Deviation function?


回答1:


You can calculate the variance in SQL:

create table t (row int);
insert into t values (1),(2),(3);
SELECT AVG((t.row - sub.a) * (t.row - sub.a)) as var from t, 
    (SELECT AVG(row) AS a FROM t) AS sub;
0.666666666666667

However, you still have to calculate the square root to get the standard deviation.




回答2:


The aggregate functions supported by SQLite are here:

http://www.sqlite.org/lang_aggfunc.html

STDEV is not in the list.

However, the module extension-functions.c in this page contains a STDEV function.

There is still no built-in stdev function in sqlite. However, you can define (as Alix has done) a user-defined aggregator function. Here is a complete example in Python:

import sqlite3
import math

class StdevFunc:
    def __init__(self):
        self.M = 0.0
        self.S = 0.0
        self.k = 1

    def step(self, value):
        if value is None:
            return
        tM = self.M
        self.M += (value - tM) / self.k
        self.S += (value - tM) * (value - self.M)
        self.k += 1

    def finalize(self):
        if self.k < 3:
            return None
        return math.sqrt(self.S / (self.k-2))

with sqlite3.connect(':memory:') as con:

    con.create_aggregate("stdev", 1, StdevFunc)

    cur = con.cursor()

    cur.execute("create table test(i)")
    cur.executemany("insert into test(i) values (?)", [(1,), (2,), (3,), (4,), (5,)])
    cur.execute("insert into test(i) values (null)")
    cur.execute("select avg(i) from test")
    print("avg: %f" % cur.fetchone()[0])
    cur.execute("select stdev(i) from test")
    print("stdev: %f" % cur.fetchone()[0])

This will print:

avg: 3.000000
stdev: 1.581139

I implemented the Welford's method (the same as extension-functions.c) as a SQLite UDF:

$db->sqliteCreateAggregate('stdev',
    function (&$context, $row, $data) // step callback
    {
        if (isset($context) !== true) // $context is null at first
        {
            $context = array
            (
                'k' => 0,
                'm' => 0,
                's' => 0,
            );
        }

        if (isset($data) === true) // the standard is non-NULL values only
        {
            $context['s'] += ($data - $context['m']) * ($data - ($context['m'] += ($data - $context['m']) / ++$context['k']));
        }

        return $context;
    },
    function (&$context, $row) // fini callback
    {
        if ($context['k'] > 0) // return NULL if no non-NULL values exist
        {
            return sqrt($context['s'] / $context['k']);
        }

        return null;
    },
1);

That's in PHP ($db is the PDO object) but it should be trivial to port to another language.

SQLite is soooo cool. <3




回答5:


a little trick

select ((sum(value)*sum(value) - sum(value * value))/((count(*)-1)*(count(*)))) 
from the_table ;

then the only thing left is to calculate sqrt outside.




回答6:


No, I searched this same issue, and ended having to do the calculations with my application (PHP)




回答7:


added some error detection in the python functions

class StdevFunc:
    """
    For use as an aggregate function in SQLite
    """
    def __init__(self):
        self.M = 0.0
        self.S = 0.0
        self.k = 0

    def step(self, value):
        try:
            # automatically convert text to float, like the rest of SQLite
            val = float(value) # if fails, skips this iteration, which also ignores nulls
            tM = self.M
            self.k += 1
            self.M += ((val - tM) / self.k)
            self.S += ((val - tM) * (val - self.M))
        except:
            pass

    def finalize(self):
        if self.k <= 1: # avoid division by zero
            return none
        else:
            return math.sqrt(self.S / (self.k-1))



回答8:


You don't state which version of standard deviation you wish to calculate but variances (standard deviation squared) for either version can be calculated using a combination of the sum() and count() aggregate functions.

select  
(count(val)*sum(val*val) - (sum(val)*sum(val)))/((count(val)-1)*(count(val))) as sample_variance,
(count(val)*sum(val*val) - (sum(val)*sum(val)))/((count(val))*(count(val))) as population_variance
from ... ;

It will still be necessary to take the square root of these to obtain the standard deviation.




回答9:


Use variance formula V(X) = E(X^2) - E(X)^2. In SQL sqlite

SELECT AVG(col*col) - AVG(col)*AVG(col) FROM table

To get standard deviation you need to take the square root V(X)^(1/2)
