numpy covariance matrix

Question

Suppose I have two vectors of length 25, and I want to compute their covariance matrix. I try doing this with numpy.cov, but always end up with a 2x2 matrix.

Answer 1

Try this:

import numpy as np
x=np.random.normal(size=25)
y=np.random.normal(size=25)
z = np.vstack((x, y))
c = np.cov(z.T)
