SQL Server deviation squared function


 
Updated: 6 August 2010

Use DEVSQ _q to calculate the sum of the squares of deviations of data points from their sample mean. The equation for deviation squared is
 
 DEVSQ
Syntax
SELECT [wctStatistics].[wct].[DEVSQ_q] (
   <@Known_x_RangeQuery, nvarchar(4000),>)
Arguments
@Known_ x_RangeQuery
the select statement, as text, used to determine the known x-values to be used in the DEVSQ_q calculation.
Return Types
float
Remarks
  ·         No GROUP BY is required for this function even though it produces aggregate results.
  ·         For simpler queries, consider using the DEVSQ function.
Examples
To determine the deviation squared for all students in all subjects:
SELECT wct.DEVSQ_q('Select grade from #s1')

This produces the following result

----------------------
2236.75490545455
 
(1 row(s) affected)

To calculate the deviation squared for each subject

SELECT Distinct s.subject
,wct.DEVSQ_q('Select grade from #s1 where #s1.subject = ' + char(39) + s.subject + char(39))
from #s1

This produces the following result

To calculate the deviation squared for each student

SELECT distinct s.student
,wct.DEVSQ_q('Select grade from #s1 where student = ' + char(39) + s.student + char(39))
