Covariance Matrix of Segregation Coefficients in a Multi-class Case

Description

Returns the covariance matrix of the segregation coefficients in a multi-class case based on the NNCT, ct. The covariance matrix is of dimension k(k+1)/2 \times k(k+1)/2 and its entry i,j correspond to the entries in the rows i and j of the output of ind.seg.coeff(k). The segregation coefficients in the multi-class case are the extension of Pielou's segregation coefficient for the two-class case. These covariances are valid under RL or conditional on Q and R under CSR.

The argument covN is the covariance matrix of N_{ij} (concatenated rowwise).
