[R] apply

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

This doesn't make sense, if you have only one vector you can estimate 
its variance with

var(x)


but there is no covariance, the joint variance of two rv's. "co" or 
joint with what if you have only x?
Note that the variance of x[1] or any other vector element is zero, it's 
only one value therefore it does not vary. A similar reasonong can be 
applied to cov(x[1], x[2]), etc.

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
