Detailed Description

This class can be used to compute the covariance between two input variables. The Fill method needs the two input variables. In the end the covariance method computes the covariance as: cov(x,y) = Sum_i(x_i*y_i)/N - x_mean*y_mean. Of course passing the same variable for x and y gives the variance of that variable.
