I'm trying to calculate the moving average of N rows, for all rows in a single query. In the example case, I am attempting to calculate the moving average of 50 rows.
SELECT
h1.date,
h1.security_id,
( SELECT
AVG(last50.close)
FROM (
SELECT h.close
FROM history as h
WHERE h.date <= h1.date AND h.security_id = h1.security_id
ORDER BY h.date DESC
LIMIT 50
) as last50
) as avg50
FROM history as h1
However, MySQL gives me an error when running this query:
Unknown column 'h1.date' in 'where clause'
I'm trying this method because the other solutions listed don't really seem to work for my use case. There are solutions for a moving average of N days, but since all dates are not accounted for in my data set, I need the average of N rows.
This solution, shown below, doesn't work because AVG (also SUM and COUNT) doesn't account for LIMIT:
SELECT
t1.data_date
( SELECT SUM(t2.price) / COUNT(t2.price)
FROM t as t2
WHERE t2.data_date <= t1.data_date
ORDER BY t2.data_date DESC
LIMIT 5
) AS 'five_row_moving_average_price'
FROM t AS t1
ORDER BY t1.data_date;
This question looks promising, but is somewhat indecipherable to me.
Any suggestions? Here's an SQLFiddle to play around in.
解决方案
plan
self join history on last 50 days
take average grouping by date and security id ( of current )
query
select curr.date, curr.security_id, avg(prev.close)
from history curr
inner join history prev
on prev.`date` between date_sub(curr.`date`, interval 49 day) and curr.`date`
and curr.security_id = prev.security_id
group by 1, 2
order by 2, 1
;
output
+---------------------------+-------------+--------------------+
| date | security_id | avg(prev.close) |

the if function is to force the correct order of evaluation of variables.
