Calculating Covariance Matrix of Two Distributions In Python


I would like to calculate the Covariance matrix of two distributions, what could be the possible ways to calculate them in python?


Solution

  • You should use numpy.

    >>> from numpy import cov
    >>> cov([1, 2, 3], [2, 12, 14])
    array([[  1.        ,   6.        ],
           [  6.        ,  41.33333333]])
