Computes the covariance matrix of a sequence.
The input sequence. Each column of x represents one vector of observed samples from one variable. Each row of x represents an observation from each variable.
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Standard Error Behavior
Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.
Default: No error
Covariance matrix of the input sequence.
If x is an n-by-m 2D array, then the covariance matrix is a square m-by-m matrix.
Mean of each column variable in the input sequence.
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.

Given m vectors of observed samples where the i th column contains the random variable x i , the covariance matrix is defined as:
where is the mean of random variable x i .
Each element v ij of covariance matrix v is the covariance between random variables x i and x j . The diagonal of covariance matrix v contains the standard variances of each x i random variable.
mean vector returns the computed mean of each random variable as shown by the following equation:
