[R] Calculate a function repeatedly over sections of a ts object

[R. Michael Weylandt]

I'm not sure if it's easily doable with a ts class, but the rollapply
function in the zoo package will do this easily. (Also, I find zoo to
be a much more natural time-series workflow than ts so it might make
the rest of your life easier as well)

So for example, the first SDF would be calculated for the daily values of my variable recorded between years 1 to 5, SDF2 to those for years 2 to 6 and so on until the total length of the series is covered. How can I implement this into a R script? Any help is much appreciated.
