The Realized Kernel (RK) estimator provides a consistent estimate of integrated variance in the presence of market microstructure noise. Unlike naive realized variance, the RK estimator corrects for the upward bias caused by effects like bid-ask bounce by applying a kernel function to the empirical autocovariances of high-frequency returns. This problem uses the Bartlett kernel, a simple and widely-used choice for producing a positive-semidefinite variance estimate. Task Implement the function
