Term: COVAR_SAMP

Definition:
The COVAR_SAMP function returns the sample covariance of a set of number pairs, and can be used as an aggregate or analytic function.

They are easily calculated, however, they suffer from certain drawbacks; notably, they are not 'robust' statistics, meaning that they are thrown off by outliers, i.e something that is numerically distant from the rest of the data.
