REGR_R2()

Coefficient of determination of the regression line

Result type

DOUBLE PRECISION

Syntax
REGR_R2 ( <y>, <x> )
Table 1. REGR_R2 Function Parameters
Parameter Description

y

Dependent variable of the regression line.It may contain a table column, a constant, a variable, an expression, a non-aggregate function or a UDF.Aggregate functions are not allowed as expressions.

x

Independent variable of the regression line.It may contain a table column, a constant, a variable, an expression, a non-aggregate function or a UDF.Aggregate functions are not allowed as expressions.

The REGR_R2 function calculates the coefficient of determination, or R-squared, of the regression line.

The function REGR_R2(<y>, <x>) is equivalent to

POWER(CORR(<y>, <x>), 2)

REGR_SLOPE()

Slope of the regression line

Result type

DOUBLE PRECISION

Syntax
REGR_SLOPE ( <y>, <x> )
Table 1. REGR_SLOPE Function Parameters
Parameter Description

y

Dependent variable of the regression line.It may contain a table column, a constant, a variable, an expression, a non-aggregate function or a UDF.Aggregate functions are not allowed as expressions.

x

Independent variable of the regression line.It may contain a table column, a constant, a variable, an expression, a non-aggregate function or a UDF.Aggregate functions are not allowed as expressions.

The function REGR_SLOPE calculates the slope of the regression line.

The function REGR_SLOPE(<y>, <x>) is equivalent to

COVAR_POP(<y>, <x>) / VAR_POP(<exprX>)

<exprX> :==
  CASE WHEN <x> IS NOT NULL AND <y> IS NOT NULL THEN <x> END

REGR_SXX()

Sum of squares of the independent variable

Result type

DOUBLE PRECISION

Syntax
REGR_SXX ( <y>, <x> )
Table 1. REGR_SXX Function Parameters
Parameter Description

y

Dependent variable of the regression line.It may contain a table column, a constant, a variable, an expression, a non-aggregate function or a UDF.Aggregate functions are not allowed as expressions.

x

Independent variable of the regression line.It may contain a table column, a constant, a variable, an expression, a non-aggregate function or a UDF.Aggregate functions are not allowed as expressions.

The function REGR_SXX calculates the sum of squares of the independent expression variable (x).

The function REGR_SXX(<y>, <x>) is equivalent to

REGR_COUNT(<y>, <x>) * VAR_POP(<exprX>)

<exprX> :==
  CASE WHEN <x> IS NOT NULL AND <y> IS NOT NULL THEN <x> END

Sum of products of the independent variable and the dependent variable

Result type

DOUBLE PRECISION

Syntax
REGR_SXY ( <y>, <x> )
Table 1. REGR_SXY Function Parameters
Parameter Description

y

Dependent variable of the regression line.It may contain a table column, a constant, a variable, an expression, a non-aggregate function or a UDF.Aggregate functions are not allowed as expressions.

x

Independent variable of the regression line.It may contain a table column, a constant, a variable, an expression, a non-aggregate function or a UDF.Aggregate functions are not allowed as expressions.

The function REGR_SXY calculates the sum of products of independent variable expression (x) times dependent variable expression (y).

The function REGR_SXY(<y>, <x>) is equivalent to

REGR_COUNT(<y>, <x>) * COVAR_POP(<y>, <x>)

REGR_SYY()

Sum of squares of the dependent variable

Result type

DOUBLE PRECISION

Syntax
REGR_SYY ( <y>, <x> )
Table 1. REGR_SYY Function Parameters
Parameter Description

y

Dependent variable of the regression line.It may contain a table column, a constant, a variable, an expression, a non-aggregate function or a UDF.Aggregate functions are not allowed as expressions.

x

Independent variable of the regression line.It may contain a table column, a constant, a variable, an expression, a non-aggregate function or a UDF.Aggregate functions are not allowed as expressions.

The function REGR_SYY calculates the sum of squares of the dependent variable (y).

The function REGR_SYY(<y>, <x>) is equivalent to
