You need the original observations to get covariance terms because a variance sums (Xi - Xs sample mean)^2 terms and covariances sum terms like (Xi-Xs sample mean) (Yi-Ys sample mean). If you have two multivariate distributions then there would be two such covariance matrices to compute or one pooled one if you assume the two distributions have the same covariance matrix. |
