Could you please explain your notation? coef(fit) gives the coefficients,
which may be what you want.

cov.wt does so in S-PLUS but not R. It is very easy to write one (if
you really want one):
myvar <- function(x, y) var(x)*(1 - 1/NROW(x))
I think does what you want, at least if there are no missing values.
