Algorithm Input
***************

The correlation and variance-covariance matrices algorithm accepts
the input described below. Pass the ``Input ID`` as a parameter to the
methods that provide input for your algorithm.

.. tabularcolumns::  |\Y{0.2}|\Y{0.8}|

.. list-table:: Algorithm Input for Correlation and Variance-Covariance Matrices Algorithm (Batch Processing)
   :header-rows: 1
   :align: left
   :widths: 10 60

   * - Input ID
     - Input
   * - ``data``
     - Pointer to the :math:`n \times p` numeric table for which the variance-covariance or
       correlation matrix :math:`C` is computed. While the input for ``defaultDense``,
       ``singlePassDense``, or ``sumDense`` method can be an object of any class
       derived from ``NumericTable``, the input for ``fastCSR``, ``singlePassCSR``, or
       ``sumCSR`` method can only be an object of the ``CSRNumericTable`` class.

Algorithm Parameters
********************

The correlation and variance-covariance matrices algorithm has the
following parameters:

   * - Parameter
     - Default Value
     - Description
   * - ``algorithmFPType``
     - ``float``
     - The floating-point type that the algorithm uses for intermediate computations. Can be ``float`` or ``double``.
   * - ``method``
     - ``defaultDense``
     - Available methods for computation of correlation and variance-covariance matrices:

       For CPU:

       + ``defaultDense`` - default performance-oriented method
       + ``singlePassDense`` - implementation of the single-pass algorithm proposed by D.H.D. West
       + ``sumDense`` - implementation of the algorithm in the cases where the
         basic statistics associated with the numeric table are pre-computed
         sums; returns an error if pre-computed sums are not defined
       + ``fastCSR`` - performance-oriented method for CSR numeric tables
       + ``singlePassCSR`` - implementation of the single-pass algorithm proposed by D.H.D. West; optimized for CSR numeric tables
       + ``sumCSR`` - implementation of the algorithm in the cases where the basic
         statistics associated with the numeric table are pre-computed sums;
         optimized for CSR numeric tables; returns an error if pre-computed
         sums are not defined

       For GPU:

       + ``defaultDense`` - default performance-oriented method

   * - ``outputMatrixType``
     - ``covarianceMatrix``
     - The type of the output matrix. Can be:

       + ``covarianceMatrix`` - variance-covariance matrix
       + ``correlationMatrix`` - correlation matrix

   * - Result ID
     - Result
   * - ``covariance``
     - Use when outputMatrixType=covarianceMatrix. Pointer to the numeric table
