Research direction

Start at arrayfire.statistics.cov and trace its ctypes call to af_cov_all, then compare that symbol with the ArrayFire library source at revision ad230a2. Done means the missing-symbol cause is confirmed and calling cov no longer fails because af_cov_all is unavailable.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

arrayfire.statistics.cov in version 3.5.20170817 of the Python bindings calls af_cov_all via ctypes; however, there doesn't appear to be any such function in the arrayfire library source (at least as of revision ad230a2).
