Covariance matrix is vital for pricing and risk analysis, before I shares a Matlab code on weighted covariance matrix computation, here is another method named Newey & West covariance matrix, which calculates the covariance matrix with a non-parametrical method. Choices of kernels include Bartlett, Truncated and Quadratic Spectral. An example program also demonstrates how to use of these procedures.
