Dear "stat",
Interesting claim to a name!
In any case, var(X) where X is the data matrix with n rows of 5-variables
should do the trick.
Btw, please read the posting guide: your question is legitimate, hiding your
identity ("stat stat") is not.
Best wishes,
Ranjan

Dear all R users,
I wanted to calculated a sample Variance covariance matrix of a five-variate
normal distribution. However I stuck to calculate each element of that matrix.
My question is should I calculate ordinary variance and covariances, taking
pairwise variables? or I should take partial
