SUMANTA BASAK a ?crit :> Hi,
> I've a matrix in 20*11 order. There are 11 variables,
> i.e 11 columns and each variable have 20 row data. Now
> i want to calculate covariance between any variable
> with others taking 4 rows at a time, so that there
> will be 5 blocks. How can i do this using any
> R-function? If i want to do it in any 'loop' function?
>
> Thanks a lot,
