Averages/Pythagorean means
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
Compute all three of the Pythagorean means of the set of integers 1 through 10 (inclusive).
Show that for this set of positive integers.
- The most common of the three means, the arithmetic mean, is the sum of the list divided by its length:
- The geometric mean is the th root of the product of the list:
- The harmonic mean is divided by the sum of the reciprocal of each item in the list:

DuckDB
This entry covers both column vectors and DuckDB lists. The "D " in the typescripts represents the DuckDB prompt.
Column vectors
DuckDB defines avg() and geomean() for the arithmetic and geometric means of a column of a table, and it easy enough to compute the harmonic mean using the formula:
count(*) / sum(1/n)
where n is the column of interest. This is so simple that it hardly seems worthwhile defining a function for it, but see Sum_of_squares#Column_vector for guidance if interested.
Notice that for an empty table, the result is NULL in all cases:
D select avg(n), geomean(n), count(*) / sum(1/n) as harmonic from range(0,0) t(n); ┌────────┬────────────┬──────────┐ │ avg(n) │ geomean(n) │ harmonic │ │ double │ double │ double │ ├────────┼────────────┼──────────┤ │ │ │ │ └────────┴────────────┴──────────┘
If one wanted to handle empty tables differently, one could for example use an expression of the form: coalesce(_, 0).
list
create or replace function average(lst) as (
list_sum(lst) / length(lst)
);
create or replace function list_geometric_mean(lst) as (
list_product( list_transform(lst, x -> pow(x, 1/length(lst))) )
);
create or replace function list_harmonic_mean(lst) as (
length(lst) / list_sum( list_transform(lst, x -> 1/x))
);
Examples:
D select l, average(l) as average, list_geometric_mean(l) as geometric, list_harmonic_mean(l) as harmonic from values ([]), ([0]), (range(1,11)) t(l); ┌─────────────────────────────────┬─────────┬────────────────────┬───────────────────┐ │ l │ average │ geometric │ harmonic │ │ int64[] │ double │ double │ double │ ├─────────────────────────────────┼─────────┼────────────────────┼───────────────────┤ │ [] │ │ │ │ │ [0] │ 0.0 │ 0.0 │ 0.0 │ │ [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] │ 5.5 │ 4.5287286881167645 │ 3.414171521474055 │ └─────────────────────────────────┴─────────┴────────────────────┴───────────────────┘

Given that we're defining all three together, it makes sense to express their regularities:
def makeMean(base, include, finish) {
return def mean(numbers) {
var count := 0
var acc := base
for x in numbers {
acc := include(acc, x)
count += 1
}
return finish(acc, count)
}
}
def A := makeMean(0, fn b,x { b+x }, fn acc,n { acc / n })
def G := makeMean(1, fn b,x { b*x }, fn acc,n { acc ** (1/n) })
def H := makeMean(0, fn b,x { b+1/x }, fn acc,n { n / acc })
? A(1..10)
# value: 5.5

assert 2 >:/\ (amean , gmean , hmean) >: i. 10 NB. check amean >= gmean and gmean >= hmean
Note that gmean could have instead been defined as mean under logarithm, for example:

Julia
Julia has a `mean` function to compute the arithmetic mean of a collections of numbers. We can redefine it as follows.
amean(A) = sum(A)/length(A)
gmean(A) = prod(A)^(1/length(A))
hmean(A) = length(A)/sum(1./A)
- Output:

These are the same in Python 2 apart from requiring explicit float division (either through float()
casts or float literals such as 1./n
); or better, do a from __future__ import division
, which works on Python 2.2+ as well as Python 3, and makes division work consistently like it does in Python 3.
