VARSAMPIF Function
Generates the variance of values by group in a column that meet a specific condition using the sample statistical method.
注記
When added to a transform, this function is applied to the current sample. If you change your sample or run the job, the computed values for this function are updated. Transforms that change the number of rows in subsequent recipe steps do not affect the values computed for this step.
注記
This function applies to a sample of the entire population. More information is below.

Population | Population statistical functions are computed from all possible values. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_population. |
Sample | Sample-based statistical functions are computed from a subset or sample of all values. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(statistics). These function names include 注記 Statistical sampling has no relationship to the samples taken within the product. When statistical functions are computed during job execution, they are applied across the entire dataset. Sample method calculations are computed at that time. |
This function is calculated across a sample of all values.

Basic Usage
varsampif(testScores, ((testScores > 0) && (testScores < 90)))
Output: Returns the variance of the testScores
column when the testScores
value is between 0 and 90 using the sample method of calculation.

Transformation:
You can use the following transformations to calculate standard deviation and variance across all dates using the sample method. Each computation has been rounded to three digits.
Transformation Name | |
---|---|
Parameter: Formula type | Single row formula |
Parameter: Formula | round(stdevsamp(Score), 3) |
Parameter: New column name | 'stdevSamp' |
