# Teradata Univariate Statistics

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Skill Name** | Teradata Univariate Statistics |
| **Description** | Comprehensive descriptive statistics for data exploration |
| **Category** | Data Exploration |
| **Primary Function** | TD_UnivariateStatistics |
| **Framework** | SQLE |

## Core Capabilities

- Automated table structure analysis via DBC.ColumnsV
- Dynamic SQL generation for TD_UnivariateStatistics
- Complete workflow from data preparation to results interpretation
- Data quality validation and preprocessing guidance
- Parameter optimization and tuning

## Key Parameters

- **TargetColumns**: Numeric columns to analyze (comma-separated)
- **StatisticsGroups**: 'BASIC','PERCENTILE','MOMENTS','QUANTILE','ALL'

## Use Cases

1. Exploratory data analysis
2. Feature distribution profiling
3. Data quality assessment
4. Pre-modeling data understanding
5. Outlier detection via statistics

## Example Usage

```sql
-- TD_UnivariateStatistics execution
SELECT * FROM TD_UnivariateStatistics (
    ON {USER_DATABASE}.{USER_TABLE} AS InputTable
    USING
    TargetColumns ('{NUMERIC_COLUMNS}')
    StatisticsGroups ('ALL')           -- 'BASIC','PERCENTILE','MOMENTS','QUANTILE','ALL'
) AS dt;
```

## Scripts Included

### Core Analytics Scripts
- **`table_analysis.sql`**: Automatic table structure discovery
- **`preprocessing.sql`**: Data preparation and feature engineering
- **`model_training.sql`**: TD_UnivariateStatistics execution
- **`evaluation.sql`**: Results analysis and metrics
- **`complete_workflow_template.sql`**: End-to-end workflow

### Utility Scripts
- **`data_quality_checks.sql`**: Comprehensive data validation
- **`parameter_tuning.sql`**: Parameter optimization
- **`diagnostic_queries.sql`**: Results diagnostics and interpretation

## Best Practices

- Always run table_analysis.sql first to understand your data structure
- Validate data quality before executing the analytical function
- Use parameter_tuning.sql to find optimal configuration
- Review diagnostic_queries.sql output for model/results validation

## Limitations

- Requires Teradata Vantage 17.20+ with ClearScape Analytics
- Input data must meet function-specific requirements
- Results depend on data quality and parameter configuration
