MovingKURT_P
Updated: 30 Jun 2013
Use MovingKURT_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 for each value from the first value in the window to the last value in the window. If the column values are presented to the functions out of order, an error message will be generated.
Syntax
SELECT [westclintech].[wct].[MovingKURT_P](
<@Val, float,>
,<@Offset, int,>
,<@RowNum, int,>
,<@Id, tinyint,>
,<@Exact, bit,>)
Arguments
@Val
the value passed into the function. @Val is an expression of type float or of a type that can be implicitly converted to float.
@Offset
specifies the window size. @Offset is an expression of type int or of a type that can be implicitly converted to int.
@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 MovingKURT_P calculation. @Id allows you to specify multiple moving population kurtosis calculations within a resultant table. @Id is an expression of type tinyint or of a type that can be implicitly converted to tinyint.
@Exact
a bit value which tells the function whether or not to return a NULL value if the number of rows in the window is smaller the @Offset value. If @Exact is 'True' and the number of rows in the window is less the @Offset then a NULL is returned. @Exact is an expression of type bit or of a type that can be implicitly converted to bit.
Remarks
· If @Id is NULL then @Id = 0.
· To calculate the population kurtosis from the beginning of a dataset or a partition, use the RunningKURT_P function.
· To calculate the population kurtosis for an entire data set or for an entire group within a data set use the KURTOSIS_P function.
· If @RowNum is equal to 1, MovingKURT_P is equal to zero
· @RowNum must be in ascending order.
· If @Exact IS NULL then @Exact = 'True'
· 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 over a window of 10 rows. Note that the @Id value for each MovingKURT_P column is different. Since @Exact is NULL, NULL is returned when the window size is less than @Offset.
