  • Example of unweighted covariance.

    • The data below are referred to monthly income of 13 families and their corrisponding free time expenditure (See page 223 of [MRZ]). 

    % x= monthly income of 13 families.
% y= free time expenditure.
x=[1330 1225 1225 1400 1575 2050 1750 2240 1225 1730 1470 2730 1380];
y=[120 60 30 60 90 150 140 210 30 100 30 270 260];
GUIcov(x,y)

  • Example 1 of weighted covariance.

    • In this example vectors x y and w are supplied. (See Covariance from Wikipedia) 

    x=[  8     8     9     9];
y=[6     7     5     7];
w=[0.4000    0.1000    0.3000    0.2000];
y=GUIcov(x,y,w);

  • Example 2 of weighted covariance.

    • In this example first input argument is a table and only this argument is passed. (See Covariance from Wikipedia) 

    N=[0 0.4 0.1
0.3	 0	0.2];
colnames={'5' '6'	'7'};
rownames={'8','9'};
Ntable=array2table(N,'RowNames',rownames,'VariableNames',colnames);
out=GUIcov(Ntable);

    Input Arguments

    expand all

    x — vector of numeric data or table. Vector or table.

    Vector containing strictly numerical data.

    If x is table the second input argument y is not necessary. In this case weighted covariance is computed where the weights are the values inside the contingency table.

    Data Types: double or table

    y — vector of numeric data. Vector.

    Vector containing strictly numerical data.

    This input argument is not requested if previously input argument x is a table.

    Data Types: double

    Optional Arguments

    w — weights. Vector.

    Vector of the same length of x containing the weights (frequencies) assigned to each observation.

    Example: 1:10

    Data Types: double

    Output Arguments

    out — description Structure

    detailed output to compute the index. struct.

    Structure containing the following fields.

    Value Description
    data

    table with n+1 rows (where n is the length of x) containing what is shown in the GUI.

    Last row contains the totals.
    cov

    scalar containing the covariance.
