	this IReadOnlyList<double> x,
	IReadOnlyList<double> y
)

Parameters

x
Type: System.Collections.GenericIReadOnlyListDouble
The values of the first variable.
y
Type: System.Collections.GenericIReadOnlyListDouble
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.
