Computes covariances for pairs of arrays or columns of a matrix.
The constructors that take RealMatrix or double[][] arguments generate covariance matrices. The columns of the input matrices are assumed to represent variable values.
The constructor argument biasCorrected determines whether or not computed covariances are bias-corrected.
Unbiased covariances are given by the formula
cov(X, Y) = Σ[(xi - E(X))(yi - E(Y))] / (n - 1) where
E(X) is the mean of
X and
E(Y) is the mean of the
Y values.
Non-bias-corrected estimates use n in place of n - 1
