[R] Running sum

Ooops! Sorry. I did not look carefully enough on the code and focused on the
term! My proposition is for a "running sum with a window width of 2
observations" (the title of the question is "Running sum", isn't it?), while
the true question was indeed about a *cumulative sum*, which is something
totally different.
Best,
