Hi Mohamed, thanks for your answer. Anyway, the "how to" is exactly my problem, since ...

fun2 <- function(x){
please_use_aggregate_and_apply_in_some_way_and_return_the_output_of_my_example_as_requested (fun(x));
}
fun2(df);

... unfortunately returns an error ;-). Could you please give a simple example? Thanks, Sören

Hello, a data.frame, df, holds the numerics, x, y, and z. A function, fun, should return some arbitrary statistics about the arguments, e.g. the sum or anything else. What I want to do is to apply this function to every pair of variables in df, and the return should be a matrix as found with cov. How can I achieve that? Thanks, Sören

df <- data.frame(x=1:10, y=11:20, z=21:30);
fun <- function(x){
 return(sum(x));
}
# and now???
