cts.median( arg as Number[] ) as Number?
Returns a frequency-weighted median of a sequence.
This function works like math:median except each item in the
sequence is repeated cts:frequency times before calculating
the median. If $arg is the empty sequence, the function returns the empty
sequence.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| arg | The sequence of values. The values should be the result of a lexicon lookup. |
This function is designed to take a sequence of values returned
by a lexicon function (for example, cts:element-values); if you
input non-lexicon values, the result will be the empty sequence.
// This query assumes an element range index of type 'int'
// is configured for the 'int' element in the database. It
// generates some sample data and then performs the aggregation
// in a separate transaction.

for (x=1; x<11; x++) {
var o = new Object();
o.int = [];
for (y=x; y<11; y++) {
o.int.push(y);
};
xdmp.documentInsert((x + ".json"), o);
};

// Run the following query:
var res = new Array();
res.push(cts.median(cts.values(
cts.jsonPropertyReference("int", "type=int"), null,
["item-frequency"])));
res.push(cts.median(cts.values(
cts.jsonPropertyReference("int", "type=int"), null,
["fragment-frequency"])));
res;
