用MySQL计算中位数最简单(希望不会太慢)的方法是什么?我已经使用AVG(x)来寻找平均值,但我很难找到一个简单的方法来计算中位数。现在,我将所有的行返回到PHP,进行排序,然后选择中间的行,但是肯定有一些简单的方法可以在一个MySQL查询中完成它。
示例数据:
id | val
--------
1 4
2 7
3 2
4 2
5 9
6 8
7 3
对val排序得到2 2 3 4 7 8 9,因此中位数应该是4,而SELECT AVG(val) == 5。
SELECT
SUBSTRING_INDEX(
SUBSTRING_INDEX(
GROUP_CONCAT(field ORDER BY field),
',',
((
ROUND(
LENGTH(GROUP_CONCAT(field)) -
LENGTH(
REPLACE(
GROUP_CONCAT(field),
',',
''
)
)
) / 2) + 1
)),
',',
-1
)
FROM
table
上面的方法似乎对我有用。
因为我只需要一个中位数和百分位数的解决方案,我根据这个线程中的发现做了一个简单而相当灵活的函数。我知道,如果我发现“现成的”功能很容易包含在我的项目中,我自己会很高兴,所以我决定快速分享:
function mysql_percentile($table, $column, $where, $percentile = 0.5) {
$sql = "
SELECT `t1`.`".$column."` as `percentile` FROM (
SELECT @rownum:=@rownum+1 as `row_number`, `d`.`".$column."`
FROM `".$table."` `d`, (SELECT @rownum:=0) `r`
".$where."
ORDER BY `d`.`".$column."`
) as `t1`,
(
SELECT count(*) as `total_rows`
FROM `".$table."` `d`
".$where."
) as `t2`
WHERE 1
AND `t1`.`row_number`=floor(`total_rows` * ".$percentile.")+1;
";
$result = sql($sql, 1);
if (!empty($result)) {
return $result['percentile'];
} else {
return 0;
}
}
使用非常简单,例子来自我目前的项目:
...
$table = DBPRE."zip_".$slug;
$column = 'seconds';
$where = "WHERE `reached` = '1' AND `time` >= '".$start_time."'";
$reaching['median'] = mysql_percentile($table, $column, $where, 0.5);
$reaching['percentile25'] = mysql_percentile($table, $column, $where, 0.25);
$reaching['percentile75'] = mysql_percentile($table, $column, $where, 0.75);
...
上面的大多数解决方案只适用于表中的一个字段,您可能需要获得查询中多个字段的中位数(第50百分位数)。
我用这个:
SELECT CAST(SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(
GROUP_CONCAT(field_name ORDER BY field_name SEPARATOR ','),
',', 50/100 * COUNT(*) + 1), ',', -1) AS DECIMAL) AS `Median`
FROM table_name;
你可以将上面例子中的“50”替换为任何百分位数,这是非常有效的。
只要确保你有足够的内存给GROUP_CONCAT,你可以改变它:
SET group_concat_max_len = 10485760; #10MB max length

根据魔术贴的答案,对于那些必须根据另一个参数分组的东西做中位数的人来说
SELECT grp_field, t1。val FROM (
SELECT grp_field, @rownum:=IF(@s = grp_field, @rownum + 1,0) AS row_number,
@s:=IF(@s = grp_field, @s, grp_field) AS sec, d.val
FROM data d, (SELECT @rownum:=0, @s:=0
ORDER BY grp_field, d.val
)作为t1 JOIN (
SELECT grp_field, count(*)为total_rows
数据d
GROUP BY grp_field
)为t2
在t1。Grp_field = t2.grp_field
在t1.row_number =地板(total_rows / 2) + 1;
ORACLE的简单解决方案:
SELECT ROUND(MEDIAN(Lat_N), 4) FROM Station;
简单的解决方案,理解MySQL:
select case MOD(count(lat_n),2)
when 1 then (select round(S.LAT_N,4) from station S where (select count(Lat_N) from station where Lat_N < S.LAT_N ) = (select count(Lat_N) from station where Lat_N > S.LAT_N))
else (select round(AVG(S.LAT_N),4) from station S where 1 = (select count(Lat_N) from station where Lat_N < S.LAT_N ) - (select count(Lat_N) from station where Lat_N > S.LAT_N))
end from station;
解释
STATION是表名。LAT_N是具有数值的列名
假设站表中有101条记录(奇数)。这意味着如果表以asc或desc排序,则中位数是第51条记录。
In above query for every S.LAT_N of S table I am creating two tables. One for number of LAT_N values less than S.LAT_N and another for number of LAT_N values greater than S.LAT_N. Later I am comparing these two tables and if they are matched then I am selecting that S.LAT_N value. When I check for 51st records there are 50 values less than 51st record and there 50 records greater than 51st record. As you see, there are 50 records in both tables. So this is our answer. For every other record there are different number of records in two tables created for comparison. So, only 51st record meets the condition.
现在假设站表中有100条记录(偶数)。这意味着如果表以asc或desc排序,则中位数是第50条和第51条记录的平均值。
Same as odd logic I am creating two tables. One for number of LAT_N values less than S.LAT_N and another for number of LAT_N values greater than S.LAT_N. Later I am comparing these two tables and if their difference is equal to 1 then I am selecting that S.LAT_N value and find the average. When I check for 50th records there are 49 values less than 50th record and there 51 records greater than 50th record. As you see, there is difference of 1 record in both tables. So this(50th record) is our 1st record for average. Similarly, When I check for 51st records there are 50 values less than 51st record and there 49 records greater than 51st record. As you see, there is difference of 1 record in both tables. So this(51st record) is our 2nd record for average. For every other record there are different number of records in two tables created for comparison. So, only 50th and 51st records meet the condition.
