Pardon me!!! What makes you think this is a homework question? You are not obligated to respond if the question is not intelligent enough for you.
I did the following: two ways to calculate a covariance matrix but wonder how I might replicate the results with "apply". I am not too comfortable with the online do of apply. > set.seed(122345671) > n<-3 > x<-rnorm(n); x [1] 0.92098449 0.80940115 0.60374785 > cov1<-outer(x-mean(x),x-mean(x))/(n-1); cov1 [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 0.0102159207 0.00224105983 -0.0124569805 [2,] 0.0022410598 0.00049161983 -0.0027326797 [3,] -0.0124569805 -0.00273267965 0.0151896601 > cov2<-(x-mean(x))%*%t((x-mean(x)))/(n-1); cov2 [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 0.0102159207 0.00224105983 -0.0124569805 [2,] 0.0022410598 0.00049161983 -0.0027326797 [3,] -0.0124569805 -0.00273267965 0.0151896601 > On 10/4/2024 4:57 PM, Uwe Ligges wrote: > Homework questions are not answered on this list. > > Best, > Uwe Ligges > > > > On 04.10.2024 10:32, Steven Yen wrote: >> The following line calculates standard deviations of a column vector: >> >> se<-apply(dd,1,sd) >> >> How can I calculate the covariance matrix using apply?
