Compute the variance of x.
- Usage 1
var(xvector)- Result 1
- The variance v of vector x.
v = sumi = 0..ncol(x) ( (xi - avr(x))^2 )
| Usage: | var(xv) |
| Result type: | scalar |
The covariance of the vector xv and yv.
| Usage: | var(xv,ys) |
| Result type: | scalar |
The covariance matrix for the column vector of the matrix xM. The column average a[j] is either calculated with avr(xM[*,j]) or through the argument y (a[j] = yS or a[j] = yV[j]).
| Usage: | var(xm) |
| var(xm,ys) | |
| var(xm,yv) | |
| Result type: | matrix - (ncol(xm) x ncol(xm)) |
