(statistics) the mean value of the product of the deviations of two variates from their respective means

"The statistician calculated the covariance to determine how closely the heights and weights in her sample deviated together from their average values."

A statistical measure defined as scriptstyle operatorname Cov(X,Y)= operatorname E((X-𝜇)(Y-𝜈)) given two real-valued random variables X and Y, with expected values scriptstyle E(X),=,𝜇 and scriptstyle E(Y),=,𝜈.

"The data scientist adjusted the model parameters after realizing that the calculated covariance between temperature readings and ice cream sales was significantly higher than anticipated."
