    @sun-rui Thanks for your comments. There is a ```cov``` implementation at 
stats.R with different signature:
    ```R
    setMethod("cov",
              signature(x = "DataFrame", col1 = "character", col2 = 
"character"),
              function(x, col1, col2) {
                statFunctions <- callJMethod(x@sdf, "stat")
                callJMethod(statFunctions, "cov", col1, col2)
              })
    ```
    And this ```cov``` has masked ```stats::cov```, so we can not add  
```cov``` as alias to "covar_samp".
