Theoretical Statistics
Covariance is a statistical measure that indicates the extent to which two random variables change together. It provides insight into the direction of the relationship between the variables, whether they tend to increase together or one increases while the other decreases. This concept is essential for understanding how variables interact and is foundational when analyzing various probability distributions, calculating expected values, examining variance and standard deviation, and assessing the strength and direction of relationships through correlation.
