Applies to: check marked yes Databricks SQL check marked yes Databricks Runtime 11.3 LTS and above

Returns the sum of squares of the xExpr values of a group where xExpr and yExpr are NOT NULL.

Syntax

regr_sxx( [ALL | DISTINCT] yExpr, xExpr) [FILTER ( WHERE cond ) ]

This function can also be invoked as a window function using the OVER clause.

Arguments

  • yExpr: A numeric expression, the dependent variable.
  • xExpr: A numeric expression, the independent variable.
  • cond: An optional Boolean expression filtering the rows used for the function.

Returns

The result type is DOUBLE.

Any nulls within the group are ignored. If a group is empty or consists only of nulls, the result is NULL.

If DISTINCT is specified, the result is computed after duplicates are removed.

regr_sxx(y, x) is a synonym for regr_count(y, x) * var_pop(x).

Examples

SQL 
> SELECT typeof(regr_sxx(y, x)) FROM VALUES (1, 2), (2, 3), (2, 3), (null, 4), (4, null) AS T(y, x);
