 The Oracle PL/SQL REGR_SXY Function      [Return To Index] Jump to:  

Term: REGR_SXY

Definition:
In Oracle PL/SQL, the function REGR_SXY is an analytic function used to generate statistics for data diagnostics based on covariance of both dependent and independent variables of regression line. It returns the sum of products of the dependent and independent variables and can be used to evaluate the statistical validity of a regression model. It takes two numeric inputs and returns a numeric output based on the formula shown below:

REGR_COUNT(x,y) * COVAR_POP(x,y)

Note that the pairs having any argument's value as NULL are eliminated, but the final result might be NULL as per the above computation.

Example Syntax

REGR_SXY(x,y)


In the syntax, 'x' is referred to as the dependent variable and 'y' is referred to as the independent variable of the Regression Line.

Example Usage

The SQL query below demonstrates the use of REGR_SXY.

SELECT deptno, sal, REGR_SXY(deptno, sal) OVER (partition by deptno) "REGR_SXY"
FROM employee
/

DEPTNO SAL REGR_SXY
