The covariance formula measures the degree of dependence that may exist between two random variables.
public:
double Covariance(System::String ^ firstInputSeriesName, System::String ^ secondInputSeriesName);
public double Covariance (string firstInputSeriesName, string secondInputSeriesName);
member this.Covariance : string * string -> double
Public Function Covariance (firstInputSeriesName As String, secondInputSeriesName As String) As Double
Parameters
Returns
Covariance value between the two groups of data.
Examples
The following code demonstrates how to use this formula.
Dim result As double = Chart1.DataManipulator.Statistics.Covariance("Series1", "Series2")
double result = Chart1.DataManipulator.Statistics.Covariance("Series1", "Series2");
Remarks
The method throws an exception if the input series do not have the same number of data points.
