tdigest() (aggregation function)

Calculates the intermediate results of percentiles() across the group.

Note

This function is used in conjunction with the summarize operator.

For more information, see the underlying algorithm (T-Digest) and the estimated error.

Syntax

tdigest (Expr [, WeightExpr])

Arguments

Name	Type	Required	Description
Expr	string	✓	Expression used for the aggregation calculation.
WeightExpr	string	✓	Expression used as the weight of the values for the aggregation calculation.

Returns

The Intermediate results of weighted percentiles of *Expr* across the group.

Tip

• Use the aggregation function tdigest_merge() to merge the output of tdigest again across another group.
• Use the function percentile_tdigest() to calculate the percentile/percentilew of the tdigest results.

Examples

This example shows the results of the tdigest percentiles sorted by state.
