* Document nested expressions for stats * More docs * Apply suggestions from review - count-distinct.asciidoc - Content restructured, moving the section about approximate counts to end of doc. - count.asciidoc - Clarified that omitting the `expression` parameter in `COUNT` is equivalent to `COUNT(*)`, which counts the number of rows. - percentile.asciidoc - Moved the note about `PERCENTILE` being approximate and non-deterministic to end of doc. - stats.asciidoc - Clarified the `STATS` command - Added a note indicating that individual `null` values are skipped during aggregation * Comment out mentioning a buggy behavior * Update sum with inline function example, update test file * Fix typo * Delete line * Simplify wording * Fix conflict fix typo --------- Co-authored-by: Liam Thompson <leemthompo@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Liam Thompson <32779855+leemthompo@users.noreply.github.com>

|

The expression can use inline functions. For example, to calculate the maximum
|
|
over an average of a multivalued column, use `MV_AVG` to first average the
|
|
multiple values per row, and use the result with the `MAX` function:
