CORR

Description​

Calculate the Pearson coefficient of two random variables.

Syntax​

CORR(<expr1>, <expr2>)

Parameters​

ParameterDescription
<expr1>Numeric expression (column)
<expr2>Numeric expression (column)

Return Value​

The return value is of type DOUBLE, the covariance of expr1 and expr2, except the product of the standard deviation of expr1 and expr2, special case:

  • If the standard deviation of expr1 or expr2 is 0, 0 will be returned.
  • If a column of expr1 or expr2 is NULL, the row data will not be counted in the final result.
