## usage: cov (x [, y])
##
## The (i,j)-th entry of cov (x, y) is the covariance between the i-th
## variable in x and the j-th variable in y.
##
## For matrices, each row is an observation and each column a variable;
## vectors are always observations and may be row or column vectors.
##
## cov (x) is cov (x, x).
