What this category covers
Measures of co-movement, dependence and covariance structure used in diversification and risk modeling. Each concept page explains the quantitative meaning, how the idea is used in portfolio or market analysis, the relevant formula or analytical framework, variables, a compact example and the main limitations to keep in view.
