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。

我使用下表的解决方案在MySQL:
CREATE TABLE transactions (
transaction_id int , user_id int , merchant_name varchar(255), transaction_date date , amount int
);
INSERT INTO transactions (transaction_id, user_id, merchant_name, transaction_date, amount)
VALUES (1, 1 ,'abc', '2015-08-17', 100),(2, 2, 'ced', '2015-2-17', 100),(3, 1, 'def', '2015-2-16', 121),
(4, 1 ,'ced', '2015-3-17', 110),(5, 1, 'ced', '2015-3-17', 150),(6, 2 ,'abc', '2015-4-17', 130),
(7, 3 ,'ced', '2015-12-17', 10),(8, 3 ,'abc', '2015-8-17', 100),(9, 2 ,'abc', '2015-12-17', 140),(10, 1,'abc', '2015-9-17', 100),
(11, 1 ,'abc', '2015-08-17', 121),(12, 2 ,'ced', '2015-12-23', 130),(13, 1 ,'def', '2015-12-23', 13),(3, 4, 'abc', '2015-2-16', 120),(3, 4, 'def', '2015-2-16', 121),(3, 4, 'ced', '2015-2-16', 121);
计算“金额”列的中位数:
WITH Numbered AS
(
SELECT *, COUNT(*) OVER () AS TotatRecords,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY amount) AS RowNum
FROM transactions
)
SELECT Avg(amount)
FROM Numbered
WHERE RowNum IN ( FLOOR((TotatRecords+1)/2), FLOOR((TotatRecords+2)/2) )
;
TotalRecords = 16 and Median = 120.5000
此查询将适用于两种情况，即偶数和奇数记录。
其他回答
在某些情况下，中位数的计算如下:
“中位数”是数字列表中按值排序时的“中间”值。对于偶数集，中位数是两个中间值的平均值。 我为此创建了一个简单的代码:
$midValue = 0;
$rowCount = "SELECT count(*) as count {$from} {$where}";
$even = FALSE;
$offset = 1;
$medianRow = floor($rowCount / 2);
if ($rowCount % 2 == 0 && !empty($medianRow)) {
$even = TRUE;
$offset++;
$medianRow--;
}
$medianValue = "SELECT column as median
{$fromClause} {$whereClause}
ORDER BY median
LIMIT {$medianRow},{$offset}";
$medianValDAO = db_query($medianValue);
while ($medianValDAO->fetch()) {
if ($even) {
$midValue = $midValue + $medianValDAO->median;
}
else {
$median = $medianValDAO->median;
}
}
if ($even) {
$median = $midValue / 2;
}
return $median;
返回的$中位数将是所需的结果:-)
我的代码，高效，没有表或额外的变量:
SELECT
((SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(group_concat(val order by val), ',', floor(1+((count(val)-1) / 2))), ',', -1))
+
(SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(group_concat(val order by val), ',', ceiling(1+((count(val)-1) / 2))), ',', -1)))/2
as median
FROM table;

transaction_id int , user_id int , merchant_name varchar(255), transaction_date date , amount int

(4, 1 ,'ced', '2015-3-17', 110),(5, 1, 'ced', '2015-3-17', 150),(6, 2 ,'abc', '2015-4-17', 130),
(7, 3 ,'ced', '2015-12-17', 10),(8, 3 ,'abc', '2015-8-17', 100),(9, 2 ,'abc', '2015-12-17', 140),(10, 1,'abc', '2015-9-17', 100),
(11, 1 ,'abc', '2015-08-17', 121),(12, 2 ,'ced', '2015-12-23', 130),(13, 1 ,'def', '2015-12-23', 13),(3, 4, 'abc', '2015-2-16', 120),(3, 4, 'def', '2015-2-16', 121),(3, 4, 'ced', '2015-2-16', 121);

您可以使用窗口函数row_number()来回答查询以找到介质
select val
from (select val, row_number() over (order by val) as rownumber, x.cnt
from data, (select count(*) as cnt from data) x) abc
where rownumber=ceil(cnt/2);
你可以使用这里的用户定义函数。
