- teradataml.dataframe.sql.DataFrameColumn.regr_slope = regr_slope(expression)
- DESCRIPTION:
Function returns the slope of the univariate linear regression line through
all non-null data pairs of the dependent and an independent variable arguments.
When function is executed, "expression" is treated as an independent variable
and dependent variable is ColumnExpression.
Note:
When there are fewer than two non-null data point pairs in the
data used for the computation, the function returns None.
PARAMETERS:
expression:
Required Argument.
Specifies a ColumnExpression of a column or name of the column or a
literal representing an independent variable for the regression.
An independent variable is something that is varied under your control
to test the behavior of another variable.
Types: ColumnExpression OR int OR float OR str
RETURNS:
ColumnExpression, also known as, teradataml DataFrameColumn
NOTES:
* One must use DataFrame.assign() when using the aggregate functions on
ColumnExpression, also known as, teradataml DataFrameColumn.
* One should always use "drop_columns=True" in DataFrame.assign(), while
running the aggregate operation on teradataml DataFrame.
* "drop_columns" argument in DataFrame.assign() is ignored, when aggregate
function is operated on DataFrame.groupby().
RAISES:
RuntimeError - If column does not support the aggregate operation.
EXAMPLES:
# Load the data to run the example.
>>> load_example_data("dataframe", "admissions_train")
>>>
# Create a DataFrame on 'admissions_train' table.
>>> admissions_train = DataFrame("admissions_train")
>>> admissions_train
