slope()

Since 1.3.0

Calculate the slope of the linear fitting line from a two-dimensional statistical aggregate. The calculation uses the standard least-squares fitting for linear regression.

Samples

Calculate the slope from independent variable y and dependent variable x for each 15-minute time bucket:

SELECT
    id,
    time_bucket('15 min'::interval, ts) AS bucket,
    slope(stats_agg(y, x)) AS summary
FROM foo
GROUP BY id, time_bucket('15 min'::interval, ts)

Arguments

The syntax is:

slope(
    summary StatsSummary2D
) RETURNS DOUBLE PRECISION

Name	Type	Default	Required	Description
summary	StatsSummary2D	-	✔	The statistical aggregate produced by a stats_agg call

Returns

Column	Type	Description
slope	DOUBLE PRECISION	The slope of the least-squares fit line
