Correlation and Variance-Covariance Matrices
Variance-covariance and correlation matrices are among the most important quantitative measures of a data set that characterize statistical relationships involving dependence.
Specifically, the covariance measures the extent to which variables “fluctuate together” (that is, co-vary). The correlation is the covariance normalized to be between -1 and +1. A positive correlation indicates the extent to which variables increase or decrease simultaneously. A negative correlation indicates the extent to which one variable increases while the other one decreases. Values close to +1 and -1 indicate a high degree of linear dependence between variables.
Details
Given a set X of n feature vectors of dimension p, the problem is to compute the sample means and variance-covariance matrix or correlation matrix:

Performance Considerations
To get the best overall performance when computing correlation or variance-covariance matrices:
If input data is homogeneous, provide the input data and store results in homogeneous numeric tables of the same type as specified in the algorithmFPType class template parameter.
If input data is non-homogeneous, use AOS layout rather than SOA layout.
