I have a time series of two indexes, with each row representing the closing price on the same day. I'd like to go to row 30 and lookback over the last 30 'days' and calculate the pearson correlation. And then store that value in a new vector. Then, repeat the calculation for the entire time series.

It is a trivial task in Excel, so I'm convinced it can be done in R. I don't know the method to use though.
