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 )

{\displaystyle \sigma ^{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))
