根据MSDN, Median在Transact-SQL中不能作为聚合函数使用。但是,我想知道是否可以创建此功能(使用create Aggregate函数、用户定义函数或其他方法)。

最好的方法(如果可能的话)是什么——允许在聚合查询中计算中值(假设是数值数据类型)?

我尝试了几种替代方案,但由于我的数据记录有重复的值,ROW_NUMBER版本似乎不是我的选择。这里是我使用的查询(NTILE版本):

SELECT distinct
   CustomerId,
   (
       MAX(CASE WHEN Percent50_Asc=1 THEN TotalDue END) OVER (PARTITION BY CustomerId)  +
       MIN(CASE WHEN Percent50_desc=1 THEN TotalDue END) OVER (PARTITION BY CustomerId) 
   )/2 MEDIAN
FROM
(
   SELECT
      CustomerId,
      TotalDue,
     NTILE(2) OVER (
         PARTITION BY CustomerId
         ORDER BY TotalDue ASC) AS Percent50_Asc,
     NTILE(2) OVER (
         PARTITION BY CustomerId
         ORDER BY TotalDue DESC) AS Percent50_desc
   FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader SOH
) x
ORDER BY CustomerId;

我只是在寻找一个基于集的中位数的解决方案时偶然发现了这一页。在研究了一些解决方案之后,我想到了以下几点。希望是有用的。

DECLARE @test TABLE(
    i int identity(1,1),
    id int,
    score float
)

INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (1,10)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (1,11)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (1,15)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (1,19)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (1,20)

INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (2,20)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (2,21)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (2,25)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (2,29)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (2,30)

INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (3,20)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (3,21)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (3,25)
INSERT INTO @test (id,score) VALUES (3,29)

DECLARE @counts TABLE(
    id int,
    cnt int
)

INSERT INTO @counts (
    id,
    cnt
)
SELECT
    id,
    COUNT(*)
FROM
    @test
GROUP BY
    id

SELECT
    drv.id,
    drv.start,
    AVG(t.score)
FROM
    (
        SELECT
            MIN(t.i)-1 AS start,
            t.id
        FROM
            @test t
        GROUP BY
            t.id
    ) drv
    INNER JOIN @test t ON drv.id = t.id
    INNER JOIN @counts c ON t.id = c.id
WHERE
    t.i = ((c.cnt+1)/2)+drv.start
    OR (
        t.i = (((c.cnt+1)%2) * ((c.cnt+2)/2))+drv.start
        AND ((c.cnt+1)%2) * ((c.cnt+2)/2) <> 0
    )
GROUP BY
    drv.id,
    drv.start

简单、快速、准确

SELECT x.Amount 
FROM   (SELECT amount, 
               Count(1) OVER (partition BY 'A')        AS TotalRows, 
               Row_number() OVER (ORDER BY Amount ASC) AS AmountOrder 
        FROM   facttransaction ft) x 
WHERE  x.AmountOrder = Round(x.TotalRows / 2.0, 0)  

在Jeff Atwood的答案的基础上,它是用GROUP BY和一个相关的子查询来获得每个组的中位数。

SELECT TestID, 
(
 (SELECT MAX(Score) FROM
   (SELECT TOP 50 PERCENT Score FROM Posts WHERE TestID = Posts_parent.TestID ORDER BY Score) AS BottomHalf)
 +
 (SELECT MIN(Score) FROM
   (SELECT TOP 50 PERCENT Score FROM Posts WHERE TestID = Posts_parent.TestID ORDER BY Score DESC) AS TopHalf)
) / 2 AS MedianScore,
AVG(Score) AS AvgScore, MIN(Score) AS MinScore, MAX(Score) AS MaxScore
FROM Posts_parent
GROUP BY Posts_parent.TestID

使用COUNT聚合, 首先可以计算有多少行,并存储在一个名为@cnt的变量中。然后 你可以计算OFFSET-FETCH过滤器的参数来指定,基于数量排序, 要跳过多少行(偏移值)和筛选多少行(获取值)。

行数 跳过是(@cnt - 1) / 2。很明显,对于奇数,这个计算是正确的,因为 首先对单个中间值减去1,然后再除以2。

这也适用于偶数计数,因为表达式中使用的除法是 整数除法;所以,当一个偶数减去1时,你得到的是一个奇数。

When dividing that odd value by 2, the fraction part of the result (.5) is truncated. The number of rows to fetch is 2 - (@cnt % 2). The idea is that when the count is odd the result of the modulo operation is 1, and you need to fetch 1 row. When the count is even the result of the modulo operation is 0, and you need to fetch 2 rows. By subtracting the 1 or 0 result of the modulo operation from 2, you get the desired 1 or 2, respectively. Finally, to compute the median quantity, take the one or two result quantities, and apply an average after converting the input integer value to a numeric one as follows:

DECLARE @cnt AS INT = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [Sales].[production].[stocks]);
SELECT AVG(1.0 * quantity) AS median
FROM ( SELECT quantity
FROM [Sales].[production].[stocks]
ORDER BY quantity
OFFSET (@cnt - 1) / 2 ROWS FETCH NEXT 2 - @cnt % 2 ROWS ONLY ) AS D;

通常情况下,我们不仅需要为整个表计算Median,还需要为与某个ID相关的聚合计算Median。换句话说,计算表中每个ID的中位数,其中每个ID有许多记录。(基于@gdoron编辑的解决方案:性能良好,适用于许多SQL)

SELECT our_id, AVG(1.0 * our_val) as Median
FROM
( SELECT our_id, our_val, 
  COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY our_id) AS cnt,
  ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY our_id ORDER BY our_val) AS rnk
  FROM our_table
) AS x
WHERE rnk IN ((cnt + 1)/2, (cnt + 2)/2) GROUP BY our_id;

希望能有所帮助。
