SQL Server running population KURTOSIS function


RunningKURT_P

Updated: 30 June 2013


Use RunningKURT_P to calculate the population kurtosis of column values in an ordered resultant table, without the need for a self-join. The population kurtosis is calculated over all the values from the first value to the last value in the ordered group or partition. If the column values are presented to the functions out of order, an error message will be generated.
Syntax
SELECT [westclintech].[wct].[RunningKURT_P](
  <@X, float,>
 ,<@RowNum, int,>
 ,<@Id, tinyint,>)
Arguments
@X
the value passed into the function. @X is an expression of type float or of a type that can be implicitly converted to float.
@RowNum
the number of the row within the group for which the population kurtosis is being calculated. If @RowNum for the current row in a set is less than or equal to the previous @RowNum and @RowNum is not equal to 1, an error message will be generated. @RowNum is an expression of type int or of a type that can be implicitly converted to int.
@Id
a unique identifier for the RunningKURT_P calculation. @Id allows you to specify multiple running sample skewness calculations within a resultant table. @Id is an expression of type tinyint or of a type that can be implicitly converted to tinyint.
Remarks
·         If @Id is NULL then @Id = 0.
·         To calculate moving population kurtosis, use the MovingKURT_P function.
·         To calculate the population kurtosis for an entire data set, use the KURTOSIS_P function.
·         If @RowNum is equal to 1, RunningKURT_P is equal to zero.
·         @RowNum must be in ascending order.
·         There may be cases where the order in which the data are returned to the function and the order in which the results are returned are different, generally due to parallelism. You can use OPTION(MAXDOP 1) or OPTION(MAXDOP 1,FORCE ORDER) to help eliminate this problem
Example
In this example, we have 20 rows of data and we want to caculate the population kurtosis of x and y starting from the first row. Note that the @Id value for each RunningKURT_P column is different.
SELECT rn
,x
,y
,wct.RunningKURT_P(x,rn,NULL) as [KURT_P x]
,wct.RunningKURT_P(y,rn,1) as [KURT_P y]

      SELECT 2,91,97 UNION ALL

This produces the following result.
