Covariation
Co-variation from

(xi - xmean)^2/n
Covariation?
Covariation
covariance can take any
value
negative infinity to
positive infinity
Intuitive explanation
(xi - xmean) * (yi - ymean) / n-1
When x and y are high at the same time
Intuitive explanation
(xi - xmean) * (yi - ymean) / n-1
When x is low when y is high and vice
Intuitive explanation
(xi - xmean) * (yi - ymean) / n
When sometimes:
x and y are high at the same time and x and y
negative numbers

Covariance is a function
of
Variance (standard deviation) of x
Variance (standard deviation) of y
Relationship between x and y
134,847?
134, 847 could be high variance of x,
high variance of y, high variance of both
variables, or a high relationship
between x and y?
Not that helpful?
standard deviation of y
