Covariance is a measure of how much two variables change together.
If one variable changes how much will the other change?
Example people's length and weight change together (within certain limits) taller people are in general heavier than shorter people. These two variables have great covariance.
Whereas eye color has little relationship to height. those two variables have small (or no) covariance.
A mix of linear regression and analysis of variance. analysis of covariance is responsible for intergroup variance when analysis of variance is performed.

Correlation is scaled to be between -1 and +1 depending on whether there is positive or negative correlation, and is dimensionless. The covariance however, ranges from zero, in the case of two independent variables, to Var(X), in the case where the two sets of data are equal. The units of COV(X,Y) are the units of X times the units of Y. correlation is the expected value of two random variables (E[XY]),whereas covariance is expected value of variations of two random variable from their expected values,

Generally, if I have a table of data, with n columns corresponding to n variables with N observations, I can calculate the covariance of columns a and b, using excel covar function, covar(range of first data values, range of second data values) To keep things organized, you may want to name the ranges of your columns and use them as the arguments in the covar.

) Distinguish clearly between analysis of variance and analysis of covariance.

The covariance between two variables is simply the average product of the values of two variables that have been expressed as deviations from their respective means. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A worked example may be referenced at: http://math.info/Statistics/Covariance

Covariance: An Overview. Variance refers to the spread of a data set around its mean value, while a covariance refers to the measure of the directional relationship between two random variables.

When you carrying out multivariate analyses.
One can find information on the covariance matrix on the Wikipedia website where there is much information about the mathematics involved. One can also find information on Mathworks.
ANCOVA is an acronymical abbreviation for analysis of covariance.
