The expectation over a sample is interpreted as a sample estimate of the mean, mV:=E[V∣S]=∫SVdPrV. Where the sample variance is, sV:=E[V2|S]−E[V|SS2]2. Sample estimates of parameters will always be denoted as English letters. The covariance between two random variables X and Y is the product of the differences from the mean for each respective variable and can be expressed as, σXY:=E[XY]−E[X]E[Y] The sample covariance can similarly defined using conditional expectations,
I don't think this is quite correct as written. These are sample quantities, so the integrals are going to be with respect to the "empirical" measure, not the "population" measure on V.
