R help - Feb 2008 - Calculating monthly var-cov matrix on non-overlapping rooling window basis

let create a 'zoo' object :
   
  library(zoo)
  date.data = seq(as.Date("01/01/01", format = "%m/%d/%y"),
as.Date("06/25/02", format = "%m/%d/%y"), by = 1)
  len = length(date.data)
  data1 = zoo(matrix(rnorm(2*len), nrow = len),  date.data )
  head(data1)
   
  Now I want to create an 3 dimensional array (suppose name "
var.cov") where, var.cov[,,i] gives the Variance-covariance matrix for i-th
month of data1. That is I want to calculate monthly variance-covariance matrix
on non-overlapping rolling window basis.
   
  Any suggestion?

Perhaps something like this:

lapply(split(data1, format(index(data1), "%m")), cov)
