I am trying to find two-tailed inverse of the X's t-distribution. It can be find using TINV function in Excel but I need this to achieve in SQL Sever. Please suggest me idea.
The TINV function syntax has the following arguments:
Probability : The probability associated with the two-tailed Student's t-distribution.
Deg_freedom : The number of degrees of freedom with which to characterize the distribution.
Ex:
select tinv( 0.054645, 60);
-- -----------------
-- 1.9599994129833
-- (1 row returned)
SQL-Server does not incorporate a lot of statistical functions.
tinv
is not present in SQL-Server.
The only way to add a tinv function, is to use a CLR-Function.
Thus, the problem reduces itselfs to "How do I calculate tinv with the subset of C# allowed in SQL-Server ?".
If you're on .NET 4.0, you could use the chart-class in System.Web.DataVisualization.dll
e.g.
var someChart = new System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.Chart();
double res = someChart.DataManipulator.Statistics.InverseTDistribution(.05, 15);
//2.131449546
However, you probably don't want that overhead. So you'll have to rip it out of Math.NET's SourceCode (MIT/X11 License).
StudentT dist = new StudentT(0.0,1.0,7.0);
double prob = dist.CumulativeDistribution(1.8946);
Which should result in 0.95
Since you need the inverse, you'll need
StudentT.InvCDF(double location, double scale, double freedom, double p)
location: The location (μ) of the distribution.
scale: The scale (σ) of the distribution. Range: σ > 0.
freedom: The degrees of freedom (ν) for the distribution. Range: ν > 0.
p: The location at which to compute the inverse cumulative density.
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlFunction]
public static System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlDouble TInv(double probability, int degFreedom)
{
double result = 0.00;
try
{
result = fnInverseTDistribution(degFreedom, probability);
}
catch
{
// throw; // Optionally throw/log/ignore/whatever
}
return result;
}
using DataVisualization, this goes like this:
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlFunction]
public static System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlDouble TInv(double probability, int degFreedom)
{
double result = 0.00;
try
{
var someChart = new System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.Chart();
result = someChart.DataManipulator.Statistics.InverseTDistribution( probability, degFreedom);
}
catch
{
// throw; // Optionally throw/log/ignore/whatever
}
return result;
}
The DataVisualization trick however won't work on SQL-Server, because you'd need to add a reference to System.Web, which you can't do in SQL-Server.
Also, excel has a lot of similar functions, tinv, t.inv, T.INV.2S, etc., so be sure to choose the right one.
Found some more information: http://numerics.mathdotnet.com/api/MathNet.Numerics/ExcelFunctions.htm#TIn
There is a special class called ExcelFunctions in Math.NET that you can actually use:
MathNet.Numerics.ExcelFunctions.TInv (1.1, 55);
You find some more information on TINV and TDIST on OpenOffice.org along with a list of functions by by category
So the solution to your problem is
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlFunction]
public static System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlDouble TInv(double probability, int degFreedom)
{
double result = 0.00;
try
{
result = MathNet.Numerics.ExcelFunctions.TInv (probability, degFreedom);
}
catch
{
// throw; // Optionally throw/log/ignore/whatever
}
return result;
}
which is actually the same as
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlFunction]
public static System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlDouble TInv(double probability, int degFreedom)
{
double result = 0.00;
try
{
result = -StudentT.InvCDF(0d, 1d, degFreedom, probability/2);
}
catch
{
// throw; // Optionally throw/log/ignore/whatever
}
return result;
}
So now you grab the sourcecode of Math.Net from https://github.com/mathnet/mathnet-numerics and drag and drop the contents of mathnet-numerics/src/Numerics/ (or the part thereof that you need) into your project with the CRL-Function, and finished.
When you have your CLR dll, you go into SSMS and execute:
EXEC dbo.sp_configure 'clr enabled',1 RECONFIGURE WITH
CREATE ASSEMBLY SQLServerStatistics from 'C:\SQLServerStatistics.dll' WITH PERMISSION_SET = SAFE
After that has succeeded, you still have to register the function with SQL-Server.
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[tinv](@prob float, @degFreedom int)
RETURNS float WITH EXECUTE AS CALLER
AS
EXTERNAL NAME [SQLServerStatistics].[Functions].[TInv]
See this article for further information.
If you want to bring the Dll onto a productive server, you'll need to create the assembly from a byte-array-string, like this:
CREATE ASSEMBLY [MyFunctions]
AUTHORIZATION [dbo]
FROM 0x4D5A90000[very long string here...];
You create the hex string from the byte array like this:
byte[] bytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(@"C:\SQLServerStatistics.dll");
"0x" + BitConverter.ToString(bytes).Replace("-", "")
I have uploaded the entire solution here on github.
Then you can run the function like this:
SELECT dbo.tinv(0.54645, 60)
==> 0.606531559343638
The Script-Generator tool automatically builds the install script for you. Looks like this:

> sp_configure 'clr enabled', 1; GO RECONFIGURE; GO
