[R] avoiding a loop: "cumsum-like"

Hi

I have not seen any answer yet so I wil try (partly).

I believe that the loop can be vectorised but I am a little bit lost 
in your fors and ifs. I found that first part of res is same as 
cumsum(tab$x.jour) until about 81st value. However I did not decipher 
how to compute the remaining part. I tried to add 
cumsum(tab$posit.lat) (after changing NA to 0) what is not correct.

Probably some combination of logical operation and summing can do 
what you want. I thought that something like
((cumsum(tab$posit.lat)*0.8)*(cumsum(tab$x.jour)>30)+cumsum(tab$x.jour
))

can do it but the result is defferent from your computation.
Not much of help, but maybe you can do better with above suggestion.

Petr
