用MySQL计算中位数最简单(希望不会太慢)的方法是什么?我已经使用AVG(x)来寻找平均值，但我很难找到一个简单的方法来计算中位数。现在，我将所有的行返回到PHP，进行排序，然后选择中间的行，但是肯定有一些简单的方法可以在一个MySQL查询中完成它。
示例数据:
id | val
--------
1 4
2 7
3 2
4 2
5 9
6 8
7 3
对val排序得到2 2 3 4 7 8 9，因此中位数应该是4，而SELECT AVG(val) == 5。

按维度分组的中位数:
SELECT your_dimension, avg(t1.val) as median_val FROM (
SELECT @rownum:=@rownum+1 AS `row_number`,
IF(@dim <> d.your_dimension, @rownum := 0, NULL),
@dim := d.your_dimension AS your_dimension,
d.val
FROM data d, (SELECT @rownum:=0) r, (SELECT @dim := 'something_unreal') d
WHERE 1
-- put some where clause here
ORDER BY d.your_dimension, d.val
) as t1
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT d.your_dimension,
count(*) as total_rows
FROM data d
WHERE 1
-- put same where clause here
GROUP BY d.your_dimension
) as t2 USING(your_dimension)
WHERE 1
AND t1.row_number in ( floor((total_rows+1)/2), floor((total_rows+2)/2) )
GROUP BY your_dimension;

对于一个表站和列lat_n，下面是MySQL代码来获得中位数:
set @rows := (select count(1) from station);
set @v1 := 0;
set @sql1 := concat('select lat_n into @v1 from station order by lat_n asc limit 1 offset ', ceil(@rows/2) - 1);
prepare statement1 from @sql1;
execute statement1;
set @v2 := 0;
set @sql2 := concat('select lat_n into @v2 from station order by lat_n asc limit 1 offset ', ceil((@rows + 1)/2) - 1);
prepare statement2 from @sql2;
execute statement2;
select (@v1 + @v2)/2;
通常，我们不仅需要为整个表计算Median，还需要为与ID相关的聚合计算Median。换句话说，计算表中每个ID的中位数，其中每个ID有许多记录。(良好的性能和工作在许多SQL +修复偶数和赔率的问题，更多关于不同的中值方法的性能https://sqlperformance.com/2012/08/t-sql-queries/median)
SELECT our_id, AVG(1.0 * our_val) as Median
FROM
( SELECT our_id, our_val,
COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY our_id) AS cnt,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY our_id ORDER BY our_val) AS rn
FROM our_table
) AS x
WHERE rn IN ((cnt + 1)/2, (cnt + 2)/2) GROUP BY our_id;
希望能有所帮助
set @r = 0;
select
case when mod(c,2)=0 then round(sum(lat_N),4)
else round(sum(lat_N)/2,4)
end as Med
from
(select lat_N, @r := @r+1, @r as id from station order by lat_N) A
cross join
(select (count(1)+1)/2 as c from station) B
where id >= floor(c) and id <=ceil(c)
试着这样做:
SELECT
CAST (AVG(val) AS DECIMAL(10,4))
FROM
(
SELECT
val,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER( ORDER BY val ) -1 AS rn,
COUNT(1) OVER () -1 AS cnt
FROM STATION
) as tmp
WHERE rn IN (FLOOR(cnt/2),CEILING (cnt/2))

注意:-1的原因是使它的索引为0 .i。E行号 现在从0开始，而不是1

上面的大多数解决方案只适用于表中的一个字段，您可能需要获得查询中多个字段的中位数(第50百分位数)。
我用这个:
SELECT CAST(SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(
GROUP_CONCAT(field_name ORDER BY field_name SEPARATOR ','),
',', 50/100 * COUNT(*) + 1), ',', -1) AS DECIMAL) AS `Median`
FROM table_name;
你可以将上面例子中的“50”替换为任何百分位数，这是非常有效的。
只要确保你有足够的内存给GROUP_CONCAT，你可以改变它:
SET group_concat_max_len = 10485760; #10MB max length
