This article proposes and analyzes several variants of the randomized Cholesky QR factorization of a matrix $X$. Instead of computing the R factor from $X^T X$, as is done by standard methods, we obtain it from a small, efficiently…

The covariance of two random variables measures the average joint deviations from their respective means. We generalise this well-known measure by replacing the means with other statistical functionals such as quantiles, expectiles, or…
