Can you close a window in javascript using the window.close() method?

Question

Lets say you did not open the window using js methid window.open(), can you still close it using the window.open(' ', '_self').close() method?

Or is there another method to close the window, considering you want to close it using a button that returns the close function, can you close it?
Please explain.
