regr_slope

Introduced in: v26.9.0 Returns the slope of the least-squares fit of y on x:

\frac{\Sigma{(x - \bar{x})(y - \bar{y})}}{\Sigma{(x - \bar{x})^2}}

Returns nan when x is constant, because the fitted line is vertical. Syntax

regr_slope(y, x)

Aliases: regrSlope Arguments

y — Dependent variable. (U)Int* or Float*
x — Independent variable. (U)Int* or Float*

Returned value Returns the slope of the regression line. Float64 Examples Basic usage

Query

SELECT regr_slope(y, x)
FROM VALUES('x Float64, y Float64', (1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 6), (4, 8))
