Author CovarianceMatrix Function
Gregory Lypny

2006-10-30, 7:43 pm

Hello everyone,

I've loaded

<< Statistics`DataManipulation`
<< Statistics`MultiDescriptiveStatistics`

but cannot get the CovarianceMatrix function to work. It simply
returns its name with all of the data as an argument. However, the
CorrelationMatrix function does work on the same data.

Am I doing something wrong or is CovarianceMatrix simply disabled?

Regards,

Gregory

Thank you, Jean-Marc. It's working now. I don't know why it wasn't
working before. I think that sometimes loading packages can be a
little finicky.

Why do you think it is disabled? The example from the online help works
fine.

In[1]:=
<< "Statistics`DataManipulation`"

In[2]:=
<< "Statistics`MultiDescriptiveStatistics`"

In[3]:=
data = N[{{1232, 4175}, {1115, 6652}, {2205, 7612},
{1897, 10914}, {1932, 10850}, {1612, 7627},
{1598, 6954}, {1804, 8365}, {1752, 9469},
{2067, 6410}, {2365, 10327}, {1646, 7320},
{1579, 8196}, {1880, 9709}, {1773, 10370},
{1712, 7749}, {1932, 6818}, {1820, 9307},
{1900, 6457}, {2426, 10102}, {1558, 7414},
{1470, 7556}, {1858, 7833}, {1587, 8309},
{2208, 9559}, {1487, 6255}, {2206, 10723},
{2332, 5430}, {2540, 12090}, {2322, 10072}}];

In[4]:=
CovarianceMatrix[data]

Out[4]=
6
{{124055., 361620.}, {361620., 3.48633 10 }}

In[5]:=
$Version

Out[5]=
"5.2 for Microsoft Windows (June 20, 2005)"

What version do you use?
On my 5.2 for Windows everything works fine.

Try to refresh the kernel and after reload the packages.
