Hi Petr,

Thanks for your suggestion. It woks, but now I have other problem the
positions of the values changed. I need the NA values in the three first
positions.

 y=c(2,1,5,8,11,3,1,7,50,21,33,7,60)
x=as.zoo(y)
> x
 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13
 2  1  5  8 11  3  1  7 50 21 33  7 60

varx=rollapply(x,3,var)

             2          3                4            5
6               7              8                9                 10
11         12
  4.333333  12.333333   9.000000  16.333333  28.000000   9.333333 714.333333
481.000000 212.333333 169.333333 702.333333
