Yes, how would I do that? The usage of sapply is pretty hard to understand, at
least at first glance, and I have never played with it before.
I will need to output all of the covariance matrices to one CSV or text file
(there's probably some sort of "append = TRUE" argument involved).
Does anyone know how to do this easily?
