skewness,skew,skew_pop
Description
Returns the skewness (opens in a new tab) of the expr expression.
The forumula used for this function is 3-th centrol moment / ((variance)^{1.5}), when variance is zero, skewness will return NULL.
Syntax
skewness(expr)
Arguments
TinyInt/SmallInt/Integer/BigInt/Float/Double, Decimal will be casted to a float number.
Return value
Double
Example
create table statistic_test (tag int, val1 double not null, val2 double null)
distributed by hash(tag) properties("replication_num"="1")
insert into statistic_test values (1, -10, -10),
(2, -20, NULL),
(3, 100, NULL),
(4, 100, NULL),
(5, 1000,1000);
// NULL is ignored
select skew(val1), skew(val2) from statistic_test
