I've found several posts detailing how to perform a weighted average based on a foreign key, but I have yet to find a solution that deals with my situation. Here it is:
I have two tables, table开发者_高级运维 A and a table B many-to-many table linking them; nothing complicated:
TableA
{
A_ID,
Other stuff
}
TableB
{
B_ID,
Date
Other stuff
}
LinkAtoB
{
A_ID,
B_ID
}
Now here comes the math part. I'm more or less trying to weight result from TableA based on the number of recent associations in Table B.
So if TableA has 4 associations in table with the following dates:
{10/23/2010, //3 days ago
10/19/2010, //5 days ago
10/18/2010, //6 days ago
9/13/2010} //40ish days ago
So here is how I'd like to rank them:
I'd like to provide a recency threshold in days, I'll use 7 days as an example:
So using the above data I would assign the following values:
{10/23/2010, //7-3 = 4
10/19/2010, //7-5 = 2
10/18/2010, //7-6 = 1
9/13/2010} //40ish days ago
So the value of the weighted average for that particular TableA entry is then 7 / 3 = 2.33333.
Here is more or less what I have so far:
var k = from a in TableA
group a by a.Select(x=>x.LinkAtoB.TableB)
.Where(x=>x.Date.CompareTo(DateTime.Now.AddDays(-7)) >= 0)
into g
select g.Sum(x => DateTime.Now.Subtract(x.Date).Days) /
g.Sum(x => x.Length);
I think I'm close but I know I have the group part wrong. I think the other stuff should work. How do I fix my code to accomplish what I want?
Here you go! :)
var k = (from b in TableB
join bb in LinkAtoB on b.B_ID equals bb.B_ID into b_join
from ab in b_join.DefaultIfEmpty()
where b.B_DATE.CompareTo(DateTime.Now.AddDays(-7)) > 0
select new {ab.A_ID, DaysAgo = (DateTime.Now - b.B_DATE).Days} into xx
group xx by xx.A_ID into yy
select new {yy.Key, Weighted = yy.Sum(x=> 7 - x.DaysAgo) / yy.Count()} into zz
join a in TableA on zz.Key equals a.A_ID
select new {a.A_ID, a.A_Other_Stuff, zz.Weighted}).ToList();
