The covariance matrix is given by the formula: 1 ( a b c) _ * ( b d e) * 10 exp(-g) kappa ( c e f) where the values a-f are given in radians. Note that the covariance matrix depends on the uncertainties assigned to the data, and may be rescaled by a value kappa which indicates whether the uncertainties assigned to the data are overestimated or underestimated [see Royer and Chang, 1991].
