Optimizing Your Data: How to Filter by Maximum Time for Each Day and Store in TrickleData
The issue lies in the way you’re filtering for the maximum time value for a given day and store using the subquery. In your initial query, you are grouping by StoreID and then joining it with another table that filters by the same date, which is why you’re getting all dates (noon) from all stores. Here’s the corrected query: SELECT t1.storeid AS StoreId, t1.time AS LastReportedTime, t1.sales + t1.tax AS Sales, t1.

Performing a Friedman Test in R: A Step-by-Step Guide for Each Group Separately
Here is the corrected R code that performs a Friedman test for each group separately: library(tidyverse) library(broom) alt %>% group_by(groupter) %>% mutate(id_row = row_number()) %>% pivot_longer(-c(id_row, groupter)) %>% nest() %>% mutate(result = map(data, ~friedman.test(value ~ name | id_row, data = .x))) %>% mutate(out = map(result, broom::tidy)) %>% select(-c(data, result)) %>>% ungroup() %>&gt%; unnest(out) This code will group the alt data by the groupter column, perform a Friedman test for each metric variable using the map function to apply friedman.
