cts:covariance-p( $value1 as cts:reference, $value2 as cts:reference, [$options as xs:string*], [$query as cts:query?], [$forest-ids as xs:unsignedLong*] ) as xs:double?
  Returns the frequency-weighted covariance of the population given a 2-way
  co-occurrence. The co-occurrence is formed from the specified value lexicons.
  This function works like math:covariance-p
   except each pair
  in the co-occurrence is counted cts:frequency
   times. This
  function performs the calculation in parallel in all data nodes then
  aggregates the values.
  xquery version "1.0-ml";
  (:
     This query assumes range indexes with positions are
     configured in the database for both xval and yval. It
     generates some sample data and then performs the
     aggregation in a separate transaction.
