SQL SERVER中PERCENTILE_CONT和PERCENTILE_DISC

PERCENTILE_CONT和PERCENTILE_DISC

看下面一组SQL语句：

WITH test
as
(select N'LeeWhoeeUniversity' as name,10 as scoreUNION ALLselect N'LeeWhoeeUniversity',20UNION ALLselect N'LeeWhoeeUniversity',30UNION ALLselect N'LeeWhoeeUniversity',40UNION ALLselect N'LeeWhoeeUniversity',50UNION ALLselect N'DePaul',60UNION ALLselect N'DePaul',70UNION ALLselect N'DePaul',80UNION ALLselect N'DePaul',90UNION ALLselect N'DePaul',100
)
select name,score
,PERCENT_RANK() over(partition by name order by score) as per_rnk
,PERCENTILE_CONT(0.5) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY score) over(partition by name) as percont0_5
,PERCENTILE_CONT(0.6) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY score) over(partition by name) as percont0_6
,PERCENTILE_CONT(0.7) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY score) over(partition by name) as percont0_7
,PERCENTILE_CONT(0.75) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY score) over(partition by name) as percont0_75
,PERCENTILE_DISC(0.5) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY score) over(partition by name) as perdist0_5
,PERCENTILE_DISC(0.6) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY score) over(partition by name) as perdist0_6
,PERCENTILE_DISC(0.7) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY score) over(partition by name) as perdist0_7
,PERCENTILE_DISC(0.75) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY score) over(partition by name) as perdist0_75
from test

运行结果：

简单理解，PERCENT_RANK前面介绍过，求出score百分比后，PERCENTILE_CONT和PERCENTILE_DISC就是根据百分比求出对应的score。但不同的是，某一百分比没有对应的score时，PERCENTILE_CONT会根据百分比的偏差计算出一个新值，此值可能并不存在于score中。PERCENTILE_DISC得出的是偏向于最近百分比对应的score值，因此此值肯定存在于score中。

如PERCENTILE_CONT(0.6)对应的值为34，偏差值我猜测是这样计算出的：百分比75%和50%PERCENTILE_CONT计算出的值分别是40和30.那么等式：(40-30)/(0.75-0.5)=新偏差值/0.6-0.5。PERCENTILE_CONT(0.6)在50%上的偏差值=4。所以，PERCENTILE_CONT(0.6)对应PERCENTILE_CONT(0.5)+4=34。

再看PERCENTILE_DISC(0.6)，直接将最近的0.5计算出的，PERCENTILE_DISC值取过来了。
