covarPop
Calculates the population covariance:
\frac{\Sigma{(x - \bar{x})(y - \bar{y})}}{n}
:::note
This function uses a numerically unstable algorithm. If you need numerical stability in calculations, use the covarPopStable
function. It works slower but provides a lower computational error.

Syntax
covarPop(x, y)
Arguments
Returned Value
- The population covariance between
x
andy
. Float64.
Example
Query:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS series;
CREATE TABLE series(i UInt32, x_value Float64, y_value Float64) ENGINE = Memory;
INSERT INTO series(i, x_value, y_value) VALUES (1, 5.6, -4.4),(2, -9.6, 3),(3, -1.3, -4),(4, 5.3, 9.7),(5, 4.4, 0.037),(6, -8.6, -7.8),(7, 5.1, 9.3),(8, 7.9, -3.6),(9, -8.2, 0.62),(10, -3, 7.3);
SELECT covarPop(x_value, y_value)
FROM series;
Result:
┌─covarPop(x_value, y_value)─┐
