Serial covarianceThe covariance between a variable and the lagged value of the variable; the same as autocorrelation.Serial covariance Similar MatchesCovarianceCovarianceA statistical measure of the degree to which random variables move together. A positive covariance implies that one variable is above (below) its mean value when the other variable is above (below) its mean value. CovarianceCovarianceA measure of the extent to which two economic or statistical variables move up and down together. For two variables x and y with values xi, yi, i=1,…,n, the covariance is cov(x,y) = Si=1…n(xi-m(x))(yi-m(y)), where m(·) is the mean of the values in its argument. |
