Details

To calculate the covariance, the user should give two vectors of numbers. The result is the explained process to calculate the covariance, with the data of the datasets provided like argument. We can saw the harmonic mean formule in the covariance_ help document.

Examples

  
  #data creation
  data <- c(10,4,5,7,3,4,1)
  data2 <- c(1,8,3,4,4,5,7)
  
  explain.covariance(data, data2)
