SELECT
    -- Sample variance of v in the frame (id is only the sort key)
    f1 := ZIP(ARRAY(1, 2, 3, 4) AS id, ARRAY(30, 10, 20, 5) AS v).TRANSFORM(
        SELECT VAR_SAMP(CAST(v AS DOUBLE)) OVER (ORDER BY id ASC).ROUND(2)
    ).UNWRAP(),
    -- Sample variance counting only rows where v > 15 (10 and 5 excluded from the frame)
    f2 := ZIP(ARRAY(1, 2, 3, 4) AS id, ARRAY(30, 10, 20, 5) AS v).TRANSFORM(
        SELECT VAR_SAMP(CAST(v AS DOUBLE)) FILTER (WHERE v > 15) OVER (ORDER BY id ASC).ROUND(
            2
        )
    ).UNWRAP()
