        @brief Covariance Estimator

        An iterative Monte Carlo estimator for the covariance \f$\mathrm{Cov}(X,X')\f$, where \f$X\f$ is a sample
        and \f$X'\f$ is a variate, is given by:

        \f[

        \f]

        \f$\hat{\mu}_n\f$ and \f$\hat{\mu}_n'\f$ being the means of the samples and variates.
