mysql - SQL to get even distribution from n groups - fetch random items -

-

i have following tables:

table product id int(11) title varchar(400)  table tag id int(11) text varchar(100)  table product_tag_map product_id int(11) tag_id int(11)

product_tag_map maps tags product. distribution of tags in system isn't normal, i.e., tags have more products others.

i'm trying write sql fetch 25 random products: 5 products per tag, 5 tags (so that's 5x5 = 25).

found answer here: how can distribution using id in(1,2,3,4)

but doesn't yield random products - fetches same products per tag.

here sql have:

set @last_tag = 0; set @count_tag = 0;  select distinct id ( select   product.*,   @count_tag := if(@last_tag = product_tag_map.tag_id, @count_tag, 0) + 1 tag_row_number,   @last_tag := product_tag_map.tag_id product   left join product_tag_map on (product_tag_map.product_id=product.id)   product_tag_map.tag_id in (245,255,259,281,296) ) subquery tag_row_number <= 5;

how make return random products per tag?

any appreciated! thanks.

there lot of tricks in query :

  1. add level of nesting use limit in subquery : mysql subquery limit
  2. add row_number functionality mysql : how select first/least/max row per group in sql

the final result lot of subquery:

select tag.name, t0.id mapid (     select *           , @num := if(@type = tag_id, @num + 1, 1) row_number          , @type := tag_id dummy     (         select *         map m         tag_id in         (             select *                         (                 select id                 tag                 order rand() limit 5             ) t         )      order tag_id, rand()     ) maintable   , (select @num:=0) foo   , (select @type:=0) foo2 ) t0      inner join tag         on t0.tag_id = tag.id row_number <= 5

sql fiddle

the idea select first 5 random tags. not difficult, simple order rand() limit 5.

then tricky part simulate row_number() over(partition tag_id, rand()), because ranking each item randomly, partition tag need. declare variable , query show.

finally, filter row_number, , have 25 random items!

How to calculate SNR of signals in MATLAB? -

-
i've encountered simple, yet fundamental problem on calculating snr: there several signals : s1 = original , pure clean signal without noise. n1 = white gaussian noise going added s1. s2 = s1 + n1 (the noisy signal before performing noise-reduction algorithm) s3 = noise-reduced signal (after performing noise reduction algorithm) n2 = s3 - s1 (the amount of noise after performing noise-reduction algorithm) now want compare snr before , after performing noise-reduction algorithm. which signals should consider snr_before!? s1/n1 or s2/n1 ? which signals should consider snr_after!? s3/n1 or s3/n2 ? which commands or functions should use in matlab in order compute snr_before , snr_after? thanks billion putting time on helping me. what know calculating snr before : snrbeforenoise = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( noise .^ 2 ); and snr after : residual_noise = signal - noise_reduced_signal; snr_after = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( residual_noise .^ 2...
