The qvcalc package provides R functions to compute and display quasi-variances that often allow a more economical summary of the variance-covariance matrix for parameters in a statistical model.
Full package documentation, including version history, can be viewed at https://davidfirth.github.io/qvcalc .

To install the package from CRAN (in R):
