18.1 - Covariance of X and Y
online.stat.psu.edu › stat414 › bookCovariance. Let X and Y be random variables (discrete or continuous!) with means μ X and μ Y. The covariance of X and Y, denoted Cov ( X, Y) or σ X Y, is defined as: C o v ( X, Y) = σ X Y = E [ ( X − μ X) ( Y − μ Y)] That is, if X and Y are discrete random variables with joint support S, then the covariance of X and Y is: C o v ( X, Y ...
Covariance | Brilliant Math & Science Wiki
brilliant.org › wiki › covarianceThe covariance Cov (X, Y) \text{Cov}(X, Y) Cov (X, Y) of random variables X X X and Y Y Y is defined as Cov (X, Y) = E [(X − E [X]) (Y − E [Y])]. \text{Cov}(X, Y) = E\left[(X - E[X])(Y - E[Y])\right]. Cov (X, Y) = E [(X − E [X]) (Y − E [Y])]. Now, instead of measuring the fluctuation of a single variable, the covariance measures how two ...
