?cumsum can help you

m1 <- cbind(1:5,1:5,1:5)
m2 <- m1
 for(i in 2:ncol(m1)){
	m2[,i]=apply(m1[,1:i],1,sum)
	}
m3 <- t(apply(m1, 1, cumsum))
all.equal(m2, m3)

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of.
~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher

The plural of anecdote is not data.
~ Roger Brinner

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.
~ John Tukey
