#168621

I have the following snippet as part of a query I'm running:
CREATE TABLE #TempTable (ID1 int, ID2 int, WeekEndDate smalldatetime, RowNum int,
   Amount float, factor float, CalcedAmount float)
-- Fill #TempTable here
DECLARE @numWeeks int, @j-2 int, @val float
SELECT @numWeeks = MAX(RowNum) FROM #TempTable
WHILE @j-2 <= @numWeeks
BEGIN
    UPDATE #TempTable
        SET @val = CASE WHEN RowNum = @j-2 THEN Amount*decay ELSE @val * (1-decay) end,
     Adstock_Amount = Adstock_Amount + @val
      WHERE RowNum >= @j-2
    SET @j-2 = @j-2 + 1
END
When the table is filled, RowNum receives a value of 1..N for each ID1/ID2 combination. Typically, i will have between 52 weeks in scope each time this executes, which means 52 trips thru the loop. I've struggled with getting this right, and can't find any way to keep the "residual" correct using only a single update. Anybody out there got any ideas? With 5 ID1s and 220 ID2s and 52 weeks, This query is taking 5 seconds, and this is only 1 step of a process that must complete in < 10.

What the heck are you trying to do

Where does "decay" come from?

Sorry, dumb mistake on my part. I've updated the code below.

What we are trying to do here is to apply a "decay" algorithm which spreads the effect of money spend in week X accross subsequent weeks. So if i spend $100 this week, i don't get $100 of effect this week. Some of that effect appears next week, and the week after, and the week after, etc. Meanwhile, in week X+1, I spend another $100. So in X+1, the CalcedAmount is the effect from Week X + the effect from Week X+1.

That's really the best explanation i can give you. We have PhD-level modeling experts that understand this (one of whom wrote the original version of the algorithm using nested while loops - what that degenerated badly. I'm just trying to speed this up so it's usable in our app - this step in the algorithm has the potential to run every time the user makes a change to an input value in the app. Right now, for 1 ID1 and 5 ID2s, it screens. For 220 ID1s, it's 5-7 seconds. Some of our clients could have 600 ID1 values (and several more ID2s) so this is critical for me to figure out.

Here's the updated (and consistent) code.

CREATE TABLE #TempTable (ID1 int, ID2 int, WeekEndDate smalldatetime, RowNum int,

Amount float, decay float, CalcedAmount float)

-- Fill #TempTable here

DECLARE @numWeeks int, @j-2 int, @val float

SELECT @numWeeks = MAX(RowNum) FROM #TempTable

WHILE @j-2 <= @numWeeks

BEGIN

UPDATE #TempTable

SET @val = CASE WHEN RowNum = @j-2 THEN Amount*decay ELSE @val * (1-decay) end,

Adstock_Amount = Adstock_Amount + @val

WHERE RowNum >= @j-2

SET @j-2 = @j-2 + 1

END

I'll post some sample data in a couple of hours - i have a conflict right now. Thanks in advance for all your help.

UPDATE:

Below is some code go generate test data. Note that I've included a column called ExpectedResults, which shows the expected results of the calculation.

Scott,

Your problem is very difficult to get to grips with - not because it's that tricky, but because of the way you've expressed it.

You're much more likely to get valuable input if you can capture the essence of the problem and provide simple, short examples.

That said, here is my suggestion below (as a start for you to work with). I've not used your data because it doesn't seem to be normalized, so is a little trickier (for me) to work with. I could have added more tables and different decay rates (for different Ids etc), but then you really would have to start paying me

Good luck!
