Converting a Covariance Matrix to a Correlation Matrix
First, use the DIAG function to extract the variances from the diagonal elements of the covariance matrix. Then invert the matrix to form the diagonal matrix with diagonal elements that are the reciprocals of the standard deviations.

How to derive correlation from covariance?
Similarly, covariance is frequently “de-scaled,” yielding the correlation between two random variables: Corr(X,Y) = Cov[X,Y] / ( StdDev(X) ∙ StdDev(Y) ) . The correlation between two random variables will always lie between -1 and 1, and is a measure of the strength of the linear relationship between the two variables.
Is a correlation matrix the same as a covariance matrix?
Both covariance and correlation measure the relationship and the dependency between two variables. Covariance indicates the direction of the linear relationship between variables. Correlation measures both the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. Correlation values are standardized.
How do I make a correlation matrix?
It can be done through the following steps:
1
Download the data into Excel and arrange the data into the columns.
2
Click Data -> Data Analysis -> Correlation.
3
Enter the input range that contains the name of the companies and the stock prices.
How do you regularize a covariance matrix?
A common type of regularization of a covariance matrix S is to use SD = diag(S) where the ijth element of SD = 0 and SD(i, i) = S(i, i). The corresponding correlation matrix is the identity matrix, and Mahalanobis distances using the identity matrix correspond to Euclidean distances.
