Creates a reducer that reduces some number of 1-D arrays of the same length N to a covariance matrix of shape NxN. This reducer uses the one-pass covariance formula from Sandia National Laboratories Technical Report SAND2008-6212, which can lose accuracy if the values span a large range.

[null,null,["Last updated 2024-07-13 UTC."],[],["This describes a reducer function that computes a covariance matrix from multiple 1-D arrays of identical length. The output is an NxN covariance matrix. It employs a one-pass covariance formula, as detailed in Sandia National Laboratories Technical Report SAND2008-6212. The key action is reducing multiple arrays into a single matrix, and the critical information is the use of a specific formula which can result in decreased accuracy if the input data contains a broad range of values.\n"]]
