I think that -bootstrap- or -jackknife- would be the general
approaches.. But sun, what do you want to do with the standard
errors?
If you want confidence intervals, then you should to bootstrap the
log variance (or log standard deviation) to remove the range
restrictions. See p. 140 of Mosteller & Tukey (1977) Data Analysis
and Regression, a Second Course in Statistics, Addison Wesley. See p
437 of CR Rao (1973) Linear Statistical Inference and its
Applications, Wiley , for asymptotic and exact variances of the
variance. I don't know of an expression for covariances, which have
no range restrictions, so a bootstrap is probably best. You can find
bootstrap CI's for Fisher's Z transform of Pearson's correlation and
transform back.
