Function list Name SummarySTDDEV
An alias of the STDDEV_SAMP
function. STDDEV_SAMP
Computes the sample (unbiased) standard deviation of the values. VAR_SAMP
Computes the sample (unbiased) variance of the values. VARIANCE
An alias of VAR_SAMP
. STDDEV
STDDEV(
[ DISTINCT ]
expression
[ HAVING { MAX | MIN } expression2 ]
)
Description
An alias of STDDEV_SAMP.
STDDEV_SAMP
STDDEV_SAMP(
[ DISTINCT ]
expression
[ HAVING { MAX | MIN } expression2 ]
)
Description
Returns the sample (unbiased) standard deviation of the values. The return result is between 0
and +Inf
.
All numeric types are supported. If the input is NUMERIC
then the internal aggregation is stable with the final output converted to a FLOAT64
. Otherwise the input is converted to a FLOAT64
before aggregation, resulting in a potentially unstable result.
This function ignores any NULL
inputs. If there are fewer than two non-NULL
inputs, this function returns NULL
.
NaN
is produced if:
NaN
To learn more about the optional aggregate clauses that you can pass into this function, see Aggregate function calls.
