I have equation e.g a* (b*b') to update Covariance Matrix.
a=(200 * 2) 200 rows and 2 cols
b=(200 * 2)
I need an output of dimension (2 * 2), How to deal with this problem. Is there any mathematical Concept i am Lacking?
Thanks in Advance.

a = randn(200,2);
c = a'*a;
You can just use cov()
a = randn(200,2);
y = cov(a);
The equivalence can be made exact by scaling the output of a'*a along with zero-meaning the columns.
So compare:
a = randn(200,2);
ac = bsxfun(@minus,a,sum(a,1)/200);
(ac'*ac)/199
with
cov(a)

I'm not sure what you're saying. If you have a 200x2 matrix, the covariance matrix is 2x2
