COVAR(a1,a2)
where,
- is the first array of integers or reference to the cells containing array
- is the second array of integers or reference to the cells containing array
is the first array of integers or reference to the cells containing array
is the second array of integers or reference to the cells containing arrayCOVAR calculates the covariance, the average of the products of deviations for each data point pair in two arrays.
Description
COVAR(a1,a2)
- COVAR is used to determine the relationship between two data sets.
- Arguments , can be numbers or can be names, arrays or references containing numbers.
- Values containing text, logical values or empty cells are ignored.
- If either or is empty, Calci displays a NaN error message.
- The number of data points in and should be same, else Calci displays a #N/A error message.
