// kanniprabu's function is wrong.
// You can check this function with COVARIANCE.P Excel function:

function getCovariance( $valuesA, $valuesB )
{
  $countA = count($valuesA);
  $countB = count($valuesB);
  if ( $countA != $countB ) {
    trigger_error( 'Arrays with different sizes: countA='. $countA .', countB='. $countB, E_USER_WARNING );
    return false;
  }

  if ( $countA < 0 ) {
    trigger_error( 'Empty arrays', E_USER_WARNING );
    return false;
  }

  // Use library function if available
  if ( function_exists( 'stats_covariance' ) ) {
    return stats_covariance( $valuesA, $valuesB );
  }

  $meanA = array_sum( $valuesA ) / floatval( $countA );
  $meanB = array_sum( $valuesB ) / floatval( $countB );
  $add = 0.0;

  for ( $pos = 0; $pos < $countA; $pos++ ) {
    $valueA = $valuesA[ $pos ];
    if ( ! is_numeric( $valueA ) ) {
      trigger_error( 'Not numerical value in array A at position '. $pos .', value='. $valueA, E_USER_WARNING );
      return false;
    }

    $valueB = $valuesB[ $pos ];
    if ( ! is_numeric( $valueB ) ) {
      trigger_error( 'Not numerical value in array B at position '. $pos .', value='. $valueB, E_USER_WARNING );
      return false;
    }

    $difA = $valueA - $meanA;
    $difB = $valueB - $meanB;
    $add += ( $difA * $difB );
