MySQL中计算中位数的简单方法

您可以使用在这里找到的用户定义函数。

建立在Velcro的回答基础上，对于那些需要根据另一个参数进行分组的中位数计算：
选择grp_field和t1.val FROM（ SELECT grp_field，@rownum：= IF（@s = grp_field，@rownum + 1，0）AS row_number， @s：= IF（@s = grp_field，@s，grp_field）AS sec，d.val FROM data d，（SELECT @rownum：= 0，@s：= 0）r ORDER BY grp_field，d.val ）作为t1 JOIN（ SELECT grp_field，count（*）as total_rows FROM data d GROUP BY grp_field ）作为t2 ON t1.grp_field = t2.grp_field WHERE t1.row_number = floor（total_rows / 2）+1;

如果值的数量为奇数，则会计算中间两个值的平均值。

SELECT AVG(val) FROM
  ( SELECT x.id, x.val from data x, data y
      GROUP BY x.id, x.val
      HAVING SUM(SIGN(1-SIGN(IF(y.val-x.val=0 AND x.id != y.id, SIGN(x.id-y.id), y.val-x.val)))) IN (ROUND((COUNT(*))/2), ROUND((COUNT(*)+1)/2))
  ) sq

我的代码，没有表格或额外变量也很高效：

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;

一次查询实现完美中位数存档：

SELECT 
COUNT(*) as total_rows, 
IF(count(*)%2 = 1, CAST(SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX( GROUP_CONCAT(val ORDER BY val SEPARATOR ','), ',', 50/100 * COUNT(*)), ',', -1) AS DECIMAL), ROUND((CAST(SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX( GROUP_CONCAT(val ORDER BY val SEPARATOR ','), ',', 50/100 * COUNT(*) + 1), ',', -1) AS DECIMAL) + CAST(SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX( GROUP_CONCAT(val ORDER BY val SEPARATOR ','), ',', 50/100 * COUNT(*)), ',', -1) AS DECIMAL)) / 2)) as median, 
AVG(val) as average 
FROM 
data

SELECT 
    SUBSTRING_INDEX(
        SUBSTRING_INDEX(
            GROUP_CONCAT(field ORDER BY field),
            ',',
            ((
                ROUND(
                    LENGTH(GROUP_CONCAT(field)) - 
                    LENGTH(
                        REPLACE(
                            GROUP_CONCAT(field),
                            ',',
                            ''
                        )
                    )
                ) / 2) + 1
            )),
            ',',
            -1
        )
FROM
    table

我正在使用以下表格来解决MySQL问题：

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“amount”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

这个查询适用于奇数和偶数记录的两种情况。

如果你知道准确的行数，可以使用以下查询：

SELECT <value> AS VAL FROM <table> ORDER BY VAL LIMIT 1 OFFSET <half>

另一种基于Velcrow答案的方法，但使用单个中间表，并利用行编号的变量来获取计数，而不是执行额外的查询来计算它。还将计数从第一行开始，使第一行成为第0行，以便简单地使用Floor和Ceil选择中位数行。

SELECT Avg(tmp.val) as median_val
    FROM (SELECT inTab.val, @rows := @rows + 1 as rowNum
              FROM data as inTab,  (SELECT @rows := -1) as init
              -- Replace with better where clause or delete
              WHERE 2 > 1
              ORDER BY inTab.val) as tmp
    WHERE tmp.rowNum in (Floor(@rows / 2), Ceil(@rows / 2));

你可以选择使用存储过程来完成这个操作：

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS median;
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE median (table_name VARCHAR(255), column_name VARCHAR(255), where_clause VARCHAR(255))
BEGIN
  -- Set default parameters
  IF where_clause IS NULL OR where_clause = '' THEN
    SET where_clause = 1;
  END IF;

  -- Prepare statement
  SET @sql = CONCAT(
    "SELECT AVG(middle_values) AS 'median' FROM (
      SELECT t1.", column_name, " AS 'middle_values' FROM
        (
          SELECT @row:=@row+1 as `row`, x.", column_name, "
          FROM ", table_name," AS x, (SELECT @row:=0) AS r
          WHERE ", where_clause, " ORDER BY x.", column_name, "
        ) AS t1,
        (
          SELECT COUNT(*) as 'count'
          FROM ", table_name, " x
          WHERE ", where_clause, "
        ) AS t2
        -- the following condition will return 1 record for odd number sets, or 2 records for even number sets.
        WHERE t1.row >= t2.count/2
          AND t1.row <= ((t2.count/2)+1)) AS t3
    ");

  -- Execute statement
  PREPARE stmt FROM @sql;
  EXECUTE stmt;
END//
DELIMITER ;


-- Sample usage:
-- median(table_name, column_name, where_condition);
CALL median('products', 'price', NULL);
