[R] Off topic: S.E. for cross validation

Hi,

I'm performing (blocked) 10-fold cross-validation of a several time 
series forecasting methods, measuring their mean squared error (MSE).

I know that the MSE_cv is the average over the 10 MSEs. Is there a way 
to calculate the standard error as well?

The usual SD/sqrt(n) formula probably doesn't apply here as the 10 
observations aren't independent.

Thanks,
Gad
