Hi Tsjerk,
Yes, I understand your point. Thanks for drawing my attention on that aspect.
Let me then rephrase my question.
I would need some R package function able to compute the variance-covariance
matrix
for multivariate series as defined at:
http://stattrek.com/matrix-algebra/covariance-matrix.aspx
About what outlined in the book reference I mentioned, I shall open a separate
thread
in the case.
Thanks.

Hi Giorgio,
This is for a multivariate time series. x1 is variable 1 of the observation
vector x, x2, variable 2, etc. If you need x(i) and x(i+1), etc, then you're
looking for the autocovariance/autocorrelation matrix, which is a quite
different thing (and David showed the way). You can easily see that you don't
have N-1 degrees of freedom per entry, because you have fewer 'observations'
for larger lag times.
Cheers,
Tsjerk

Hi Tsjerk,
Yes, seriously.
Time series:
X = [x1, x2, x3, ....,xn]
The variance-covariance matrix is V matrix:
V =
Σ x12 / (N-1)
Σ x1 x2 / (N-1)
. . .
Σ x1 xn / (N-1)
Σ x2 x1 / (N-1)
Σ x22 / (N-1)
. . .
Σ x2 xn / (N-1)
. . .
. . .
. . .
. . .
Σ xn x1 / (N-1)
Σ xn x2 / (N-1)
. . .
Σ xn2 / (N-1)

Hi Giorgio,
For a univariate time series? Seriously?
data <- rnorm(10,2,1)
as.matrix(var(data))
Cheers,
Tsjerk

Hi,
Actually as variance-covariance matrix I mean:
http://stattrek.com/matrix-algebra/covariance-matrix.aspx
that I compute by:
data <- rnorm(10,2,1)
n <- length(data)
data.center <- scale(data, center=TRUE, scale=FALSE)
var.cov.mat <- (1/(n-1)) * data.center %*% t(data.center)

If you mean the auto-correlation function, then the stats package (loaded by
default at startup) has facilities:
?acf
# also same help page describes partial auto-correlation function
#Auto- and Cross- Covariance and -Correlation Function Estimation
