Description

Returns the skewness 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.

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
