Distributions

Distribution

Return the distribution of a column with a specified number of bins.

You may specify one of either num_bins or bin_thresholds.

For num_bins,, if there is not enough data, fewer than the specified number of bins will be returned.

For bin_thresholds, there will be a bucket below your lowest bin and a bucket above your highest bin, i.e. n+1 buckets when supplied n thresholds.

Query Request with num_bins:

{
    "select": [
        {
            "function": "distribution",
            "alias": "<alias_name> [optional string]",
            "parameters": {
                "property": "<attribute_name> [string or nested]",
                "num_bins": "<number_of_bins> [int]"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Query Request with bin_thresholds:

{
    "select": [
        {
            "function": "distribution",
            "alias": "<alias_name> [optional string]",
            "parameters": {
                "property": "<attribute_name> [string or nested]",
                "bin_thresholds": "<list_of_floats> [List[int]]"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Query Response:

{
    "query_result": [
        {
            "<function_name/alias_name>": [
                {
                    "lower": "<bin_lower_bound> [float]",
                    "upper": "<bin_upper_bound> [float]",
                    "count": "<bin_count> [float]"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Lower bounds are inclusive while upper bounds are exclusive, so a bucket response like this:

{
    "lower": 30,
    "upper": 50,
    "count": "<bin_count> [float]"
}

would include values such as 30, 40, or 49.999, but not 50.

rankedItemMaxK

Returns the maximum position of a specified ranked list item across all ranked list data for a model. Maximum position in this case refers to the largest index the item sits at in a ranked list array, not the highest ranking. If the specified item is not in any array, the function will return None. For use with ranked list type attributes only. The property name should have the _item_id suffix appended to it.
