Parameters

yColumn or str: the dependent variable.
xColumn or str: the independent variable.

Returns

Column: the average of the independent variable for non-null pairs in a group.

Examples

Example 1: All pairs are non-null

>>> import pyspark.sql.functions as sf
>>> df = spark.sql("SELECT * FROM VALUES (1, 2), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4) AS tab(y, x)")
>>> df.select(sf.regr_avgx("y", "x"), sf.avg("x")).show()
+---------------+------+
|regr_avgx(y, x)|avg(x)|
+---------------+------+
|           2.75|  2.75|
+---------------+------+

Example 2: All pairs’ x values are null

>>> import pyspark.sql.functions as sf
>>> df = spark.sql("SELECT * FROM VALUES (1, null) AS tab(y, x)")
>>> df.select(sf.regr_avgx("y", "x"), sf.avg("x")).show()
+---------------+------+
|regr_avgx(y, x)|avg(x)|
+---------------+------+
|           NULL|  NULL|
+---------------+------+

Example 3: All pairs’ y values are null

>>> import pyspark.sql.functions as sf
>>> df = spark.sql("SELECT * FROM VALUES (null, 1) AS tab(y, x)")
>>> df.select(sf.regr_avgx("y", "x"), sf.avg("x")).show()
+---------------+------+
|regr_avgx(y, x)|avg(x)|
+---------------+------+
|           NULL|   1.0|
+---------------+------+

Example 4: Some pairs’ x values are null

>>> import pyspark.sql.functions as sf
>>> df = spark.sql("SELECT * FROM VALUES (1, 2), (2, null), (2, 3), (2, 4) AS tab(y, x)")
>>> df.select(sf.regr_avgx("y", "x"), sf.avg("x")).show()
+---------------+------+
|regr_avgx(y, x)|avg(x)|
+---------------+------+
|            3.0|   3.0|
+---------------+------+

Example 5: Some pairs’ x or y values are null

>>> import pyspark.sql.functions as sf
>>> df = spark.sql("SELECT * FROM VALUES (1, 2), (2, null), (null, 3), (2, 4) AS tab(y, x)")
>>> df.select(sf.regr_avgx("y", "x"), sf.avg("x")).show()
+---------------+------+
|regr_avgx(y, x)|avg(x)|
+---------------+------+
|            3.0|   3.0|
