Compute covariance with Series, excluding missing values.

Parameters
otherSeries

Series with which to compute the covariance.

min_periodsint, optional

Minimum number of observations needed to have a valid result.

Returns
float

Covariance between Series and other

Examples

>>> from pyspark.pandas.config import set_option, reset_option
>>> set_option("compute.ops_on_diff_frames", True)
>>> s1 = ps.Series([0.90010907, 0.13484424, 0.62036035])
>>> s2 = ps.Series([0.12528585, 0.26962463, 0.51111198])
>>> s1.cov(s2)
