Covariance

Function Name: indCovariance

Tags: Statistics

Category: Other

The Covariance Function calculates the covariance between two bases.

It is used to determine the relationship between two data sets. This coefficient returns a value that measures the influence that the independent (INDEPENDENTVAL input) data series has over the dependant data series (DEPENDENTVAL input). The greater the value, the stronger the correlation, the smaller the value (if negative) the stronger the inverse correlation. If the value is near to zero the correlation is non-existent.
