where,

  • is array of integers or reference to the cells containing array,
  • is a method that performs the analysis by Columns or Rows,
  • is a flag that determines how the output should be displayed.

COVARIANCEDATAANALYSIS() calculates the average of product of deviations of values from the means of each data set.

Description

COVARIANCEDATAANALYSIS(Array, GroupBy, NewTableFlag)

  • Covariance is a method used to determine the relationship between two data sets.
  • can be numbers or can be names, arrays or references containing numbers.
  • Values containing text, logical values or empty cells are ignored.
  • Argument can be "Rows" or "Columns".
  • can be a logical value TRUE or FALSE. If omitted, Calci assumes it to be TRUE.
  • If is TRUE, output is displayed on a new ZSpace cube. If is FALSE, output is displayed on the same spreadsheet where command is written.
  • If data is invalid, Calci displays NaN error message.
