18.1 - Covariance of X and Y | STAT 414
online.stat.psu.edu › stat414 › lessonLet 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) = ∑ ∑ ...

8.4 - Variance of X | STAT 414
online.stat.psu.edu › stat414 › lessonThe X and Y means are at the fulcrums in which their axes don't tilt ("a balanced seesaw"). The second p.m.f. exhibits greater variability than the first p.m.f. That second point suggests that the means of X and Y are not sufficient in summarizing their probability distributions. Hence, the following definition! Definition.
Conditional variance - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_varianceIn probability theory and statistics, a conditional variance is the variance of a random variable given the value(s) of one or more other variables. Particularly in econometrics, the conditional variance is also known as the scedastic function or skedastic function. Conditional variances are important parts of autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) models.
