cumulative growth rates indexed to a common starting point over n series of observations
What is the R way of computing cumulative growth rates given a series of discrete values indexed . For instance, given a matrix of 20 observations for each of 5 series (zz), what is the most straight forward technique in R for computing cumulative growth (zzcum) ? It seems for the solution I'm after might be imbedding the following cum growth rate calc as a function into a function call to apply, mapply, ...? zz = rnorm(100) dim(zz) = c(20,5) zz zzcum=matrix(nrow=20,ncol=5) zzcum zzcum[1,]=100*(1+zz[1,]/100) zzcum for(i in 2:20){zzcum[i,] = zzcum...
