A function to calculate a function over an expanding window from the start of the timeseries. This wrapper allows easy calculation of “from inception” statistics.
apply.fromstart(R, FUN = "mean", gap = 1, ...)
an xts, vector, matrix, data frame, timeSeries or zoo object of asset returns
any function that can be evaluated using a single set of returns
(e.g., rolling beta won't work, but Return.annualized
will)
the number of data points from the beginning of the series required to “train” the calculation
any other passthru parameters
