## calculate a function over an expanding window always starting from the beginning of the series

### Description

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.

### Usage

    apply.fromstart(R, FUN = "mean" , gap = 1, ...)

### Arguments

`R` | a vector, matrix, data frame, timeSeries or zoo object of asset returns
`FUN` | any function that can be evaluated using a single set of returns (e.g., rolling beta won't work, but `Return.annualized` will)
`gap` | the number of data points from the beginning of the series required to “train” the calculation
`...` | any other passthru parameters

### Value

A timeseries in a zoo object of the calculation results
