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.
COVAR_SAMP(<expression1>, <expression2>)
Sample covariance functions are widely used in statistics as common measures of location and dispersion.
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.
