Analytical Queries - Aggregate Variables

Any variables bound in the where clauses, can be used in conjunction with aggregate functions. For example, the below query takes the sum of ?nums.

{
"select": "(sum ?nums)",
"where": [["$fdb8", ["person/handle", "zsmith"], "person/favNums", "?nums"]]
}

The full list of available variables is below:

FunctionDescription
avgReturns the average of the values.
countReturns a count of the values.
count-distinctReturns a count of the distinct values.
distinctReturns all of the distinct values.
maxReturns the largest value.
medianReturns the median of the values.
minReturns the smallest value.
randReturns a random value from the specified values.
sampleGiven a sample size and a set of values, returns an appropriately sized sample, i.e. (sample 2 ?age) returns two ages from values bound to the variable, ?age.
stddevReturns the standard deviation of the values.
sumReturns the sum of the values.
varianceReturns the variance of the values.
