Compute the variance, covariance or covariance-matrix.
- Usage 1
var(xvector)- Result 1
- The variance v of vector x.
v = sum( (x-avr(x))?^2 ) / (nrow(x)-1)v = (x-avr(x))^2 / (nrow(x)-1)
- Usage 2
var(xvector, yvector)- Result 2
- The covariance v of the vectors x and y.
v = sum( (x-avr(x) ?* (y-avr(y)) ) / (nrow(x)-1)v = ((x-avr(x) * (y-avr(y))) / (nrow(x)-1)
- Usage 3
var(xmatrix)var(xmatrix, yscalar)var(xmatrix, yvector)- Result 3
- The covariance matrix v of the column vectors of x.
v[i,j] = sum( (x[*,i]-a[i]) ?* (x[*,j]-a[j]) ) / (nrow(x)-1) , with: i,j = 0..ncol(x)-1- The column averages a[i] are computed as follows:
y not supplied a[i] = avr(x[*,i]) yscalar a[i] = y yvector a[i] = y[i]
