Bivariate.PopulationCovariance Method

Estimates the covariance of the two variables in the population.

Namespace: Meta.Numerics.Statistics
Assembly: Meta.Numerics (in Meta.Numerics.dll) Version: 4.1.4

Syntax

public static UncertainValue PopulationCovariance(
	this IReadOnlyList<double> x,
	IReadOnlyList<double> y
)

<ExtensionAttribute>
Public Shared Function PopulationCovariance ( 
	x As IReadOnlyList(Of Double),
	y As IReadOnlyList(Of Double)
) As UncertainValue

public:
[ExtensionAttribute]
static UncertainValue PopulationCovariance(
	IReadOnlyList<double>^ x, 
	IReadOnlyList<double>^ y
)

[<ExtensionAttribute>]
static member PopulationCovariance : 
        x : IReadOnlyList<float> * 
        y : IReadOnlyList<float> -> UncertainValue

Parameters

x: Type: System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyList<Double>
The values of the first variable.
y: Type: System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyList<Double>
The values of the second variable.

Return Value

Type: UncertainValue
An estimate, with uncertainty, of the covariance of the two variables in the distribution from which the sample was drawn.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IReadOnlyList<Double>. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	x or y is null.
DimensionMismatchException	x and y do not contain the same number of entries.
InsufficientDataException	Are fewer than three entries in the sample.
