statistics

This module contains functions to perform spatial statistics calculations.

GETIS_ORD_QUADBIN

GETIS_ORD_QUADBIN(input, size, kernel)

Description

This function computes the Getis-Ord Gi* statistic for each Quadbin index in the input array.

  • input: SUPER input data with the indexes and values of the cells.

  • size: INT8 size of the Quadbin k-ring (distance from the origin). This defines the area around each index cell that will be taken into account to compute its Gi* statistic.

  • kernel: VARCHAR kernel function to compute the spatial weights across the kring. Available functions are: uniform, triangular, quadratic, quartic and gaussian.

Return type

SUPER

Example

SELECT carto.GETIS_ORD_QUADBIN(
    JSON_PARSE('[
        {"index": 5266443791933898751, "value": 51.0},
        {"index": 5266443803500740607, "value": 28.0},
        {"index": 5266443790415822847, "value": 19.0}
    ]'),
    3, 'gaussian'
);

MORANS_I_QUADBIN

MORANS_I_QUADBIN(input, size, decay)

Description

This function computes the Moran's I spatial autocorrelation from the input array of quadkey indexes.

  • input: SUPER input data with the indexes and values of the cells.

  • size: INT8 size of the quadkey k-ring (distance from the origin). This defines the area around each index cell where the distance decay will be applied.

  • decay: VARCHAR decay function to compute the distance decay. Available functions are: uniform, inverse, inverse_square and exponential.

Return type

FLOAT8

Example

SELECT carto.MORANS_I_QUADBIN(
    JSON_PARSE('[
        {"index": 5266443791927869439, "value": 51.0},
        {"index": 5266443791928131583, "value": 28.0},
        {"index": 5266443791928918015, "value": 19.0}
    ]'),
    3, 'exponential'
);

P_VALUE

P_VALUE(z_score)

Description

This function computes the p-value (two-tails test) of a given z-score assuming the population follows a normal distribution where the mean is 0 and the standard deviation is 1. The z-score is a measure of how many standard deviations below or above the population mean a value is. It gives you an idea of how far from the mean a data point is. The p-value is the probability that a randomly sampled point has a value at least as extreme as the point whose z-score is being tested.

  • z_score: FLOAT8 input data with the indexes and values of the cells.

Return type

FLOAT8

Example

SELECT carto.P_VALUE(-2);
-- 0.04550012577451279
