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。

create table med(id integer);
insert into med(id) values(1);
insert into med(id) values(2);
insert into med(id) values(3);
insert into med(id) values(4);
insert into med(id) values(5);
insert into med(id) values(6);

select (MIN(count)+MAX(count))/2 from 
(select case when (select count(*) from 
med A where A.id<B.id)=(select count(*)/2 from med) OR 
(select count(*) from med A where A.id>B.id)=(select count(*)/2 
from med) then cast(B.id as float)end as count from med B) C;

 ?column? 
----------
  3.5
(1 row)

OR

select cast(avg(id) as float) from 
(select t1.id from med t1 JOIN med t2 on t1.id!= t2.id 
group by t1.id having ABS(SUM(SIGN(t1.id-t2.id)))=1) A;

其他回答

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)

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;

最简单和快速的方法来计算中位数在mysql。

select x.col
from   (select lat_n, 
               count(1) over (partition by 'A')        as total_rows, 
               row_number() over (order by col asc) as rank_Order 
        from   station ft) x 
where  x.rank_Order = round(x.total_rows / 2.0, 0) 
create table med(id integer);
insert into med(id) values(1);
insert into med(id) values(2);
insert into med(id) values(3);
insert into med(id) values(4);
insert into med(id) values(5);
insert into med(id) values(6);

select (MIN(count)+MAX(count))/2 from 
(select case when (select count(*) from 
med A where A.id<B.id)=(select count(*)/2 from med) OR 
(select count(*) from med A where A.id>B.id)=(select count(*)/2 
from med) then cast(B.id as float)end as count from med B) C;

 ?column? 
----------
  3.5
(1 row)

OR

select cast(avg(id) as float) from 
(select t1.id from med t1 JOIN med t2 on t1.id!= t2.id 
group by t1.id having ABS(SUM(SIGN(t1.id-t2.id)))=1) A;

你可以使用这里的用户定义函数。
