Hoe de helling in SQL te berekenen

De schoonste die ik kon maken:

SELECT
    Scores.Date, Scores.Keyword, Scores.Score,
    (N * Sum_XY - Sum_X * Sum_Y)/(N * Sum_X2 - Sum_X * Sum_X) AS Slope
FROM Scores
INNER JOIN (
    SELECT
        Keyword,
        COUNT(*) AS N,
        SUM(CAST(Date as float)) AS Sum_X,
        SUM(CAST(Date as float) * CAST(Date as float)) AS Sum_X2,
        SUM(Score) AS Sum_Y,
        SUM(CAST(Date as float) * Score) AS Sum_XY
    FROM Scores
    GROUP BY Keyword
) G ON G.Keyword = Scores.Keyword;

Het gebruikt Simple Linear Regression om de helling te berekenen.

Resultaat:

Date         Keyword        Score         Slope

Elk databasesysteem lijkt een andere benadering te hebben voor het converteren van datums naar getallen:

• MySQL: TO_SECONDS(date) of TO_DAYS(date)
• Oracle: TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(date, 'J')) of date - TO_DATE('1','yyyy')
• MS SQL Server: CAST(date AS float) (of gelijkwaardig CONVERT )
