## Struct template covariance_impl

boost::accumulators::impl::covariance_impl — Covariance Estimator.

## Synopsis

    // In header: <boost/accumulators/statistics/covariance.hpp>

    template<typename Sample, typename VariateType, typename VariateTag>
    struct covariance_impl {
      // types
      typedef numeric::functional::average< Sample, std::size_t >::result_type             sample_type;
      typedef numeric::functional::average< VariateType, std::size_t >::result_type        variate_type;
      typedef numeric::functional::outer_product< sample_type, variate_type >::result_type result_type;

      // construct/copy/destruct
      template<typename Args> covariance_impl(Args const &);

      // public member functions
      template<typename Args> void operator()(Args const &) ;
      result_type result(dont_care) const;
    };

## Description

An iterative Monte Carlo estimator for the covariance , where is a sample and is a variate, is given by:

Equation 1.1.

and being the means of the samples and variates.

### `covariance_impl` public construct/copy/destruct

1.     template<typename Args> covariance_impl(Args const & args);

### `covariance_impl` public member functions

1.     template<typename Args> void operator()(Args const & args) ;

2.     result_type result(dont_care) const;
