covarSamp

Calculates the value of Σ((x - x̅)(y - y̅)) / (n - 1).

Returns Float64. When n <= 1, returns +∞.

:::note
This function uses a numerically unstable algorithm. If you need numerical stability in calculations, use the covarSampStable function. It works slower but provides a lower computational error. :::
