MovingINTERCEPT

Updated 2023-11-13 21:20:30.677000

Syntax

SELECT [westclintech].[wct].[MovingINTERCEPT](
  <@y, float,>
 ,<@x, float,>
 ,<@Offset, int,>
 ,<@RowNum, int,>
 ,<@Id, tinyint,>)

Description

Use the scalar function MovingINTERCEPT to calculate the intercept of a series of x- and y-values within a resultant table or partition, without the need for a self-join. The intercept value is calculated for each value from the first value in the window to the last value in the window. If the column values are presented to the functions out of order, an error message will be generated.

Arguments

@Id

a unique identifier for the MovingINTERCEPT calculation. @Id allows you to specify multiple MovingINTERCEPT calculations within a resultant table. @Id is an expression of type tinyint or of a type that can be implicitly converted to tinyint.

@Offset

specifies the window size. @Offset is an expression of type int or of a type that can be implicitly converted to int.

@RowNum

the number of the row within the group for which the sum is being calculated. If @RowNum for the current row in a set is less than or equal to the previous @RowNum and @RowNum is not equal to 1, an error message will be generated. @RowNum is an expression of type int or of a type that can be implicitly converted to int.

@X

the x-value passed into the function. @X is an expression of type float or of a type that can be implicitly converted to float.

@Y

the y-value passed into the function. @Y is an expression of type float or of a type that can be implicitly converted to float.

Return Type

float

Remarks

If @Id is NULL then @Id = 0.

@RowNum must be in ascending order.

To calculate the intercept from the first row in a data set or partition use the RunningINTERCEPT function.

If @RowNum = 1 then MovingINTERCEPT is NULL.

Set @X to NULL to have the function maintain a constant set of x-values in the range 1 to window-size.

To calculate a single intercept value for a set of data use the INTERCEPT function.

There may be cases where the order in which the data are returned to the function and the order in which the results are returned are different, generally due to parallelism. You can use OPTION(MAXDOP 1) or OPTION(MAXDOP 1,FORCE ORDER) to help eliminate this problem.

Examples

In this example we will calculate the intercept, over time, in the closing prices for some stock indices, with the offset set to 9, meaning that the intercept will be calculated using the current row and the nine preceding rows. We will create a temporary table, #p, populate it with some data and then run the SELECT.

Notice that in the previous example that the interval between dates is unequal because there are no prices for the weekends and holidays. Additionally, since we start so far away from the origin, the intercept value is misleading. To eliminate both problems, we can set @X to NULL which will have the effect of equally spacing the x-values and starting almost at the point of origin.

In this example, we calculate the intercept for each of the three indices and compare them side-by-side.

SELECT cast(convert(varchar, p1.date_trade, 106) as char(11)) as [trade date],

       p1.price_close as [S&P],

       ROUND(wct.MovingINTERCEPT(p1.price_close, NULL, 9, ROW_NUMBER() over (ORDER 

                 BY p1.date_trade ASC), 1), 2) as [INTERCEPT],

       p2.price_close as [DJIA],

       ROUND(wct.MovingINTERCEPT(p2.price_close, NULL, 9, ROW_NUMBER() over (ORDER 

                 BY p2.date_trade ASC), 2), 2) as [INTERCEPT],

       p3.price_close as [NASDAQ],

       ROUND(wct.MovingINTERCEPT(p3.price_close, NULL, 9, ROW_NUMBER() over (ORDER
