geraldew<p>But I'd still like to find an SQL method for doing the multivariate distance.</p><p>I don't need it to be strictly in "pure" SQL as the goal is just to avoid the callout, so any use of features custom to Teradata SQL will be good enough.</p><p>I see Teradata has a table function for making a covariance matrix, so hopefully I just need clarity over how to take it from there.</p><p>But can I find time or enthusiasm to wade through enough "how to calculate" tutorials to find my solution path?<br><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SQL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SQL</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/mathstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mathstodon</span></a></p>
geraldew<p>Back on tech matters, lately I've been revisiting the Mahalanobis distance.</p><p>I had an intention ten years ago to seek an SQL method for deriving it, but it never became pressing enough, and the process using it - via an external call out - was only once once annually.</p><p>Returning to the same process ten years later, I've dug a little deeper and found that the callout had only been doing on each separate "variable" - and was thus equivalent to doing each as a simple "z-score".<br><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SQL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SQL</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/mathstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mathstodon</span></a></p>

Pustam | पुस्तम | পুস্তম🇳🇵<p>The Fourier Transform is a mathematical operation that transforms a function of time (or space) into a function of frequency. It decomposes a complex signal into its constituent sinusoidal components, each with a specific frequency, amplitude, and phase. This is particularly useful in many fields, such as signal processing, physics, and engineering, because it allows for analysing the frequency characteristics of signals. The Fourier Transform provides a bridge between the time and frequency domains, enabling the analysis and manipulation of signals in more intuitive and computationally efficient ways. The result of applying a Fourier Transform is often represented as a spectrum, showing how much of each frequency is present in the original signal.</p><p>\[\Large\boxed{\boxed{\widehat{f}(\xi) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(x)\ e^{-i 2\pi \xi x}\,\mathrm dx, \quad \forall\xi \in \mathbb{R}.}}\]</p><p>Inverse Fourier Transform:<br />\[\Large\boxed{\boxed{ f(x) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \widehat f(\xi)\ e^{i 2 \pi \xi x}\,\mathrm d\xi,\quad \forall x \in \mathbb R.}}\] </p><p>The equation allows us to listen to mp3s today.
