##  [1] 1.0 1.5 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 8.0 9.0

# Rolling regression on time series data
df <- data.frame(
  date = Sys.Date() + cumsum(sample(1:3, 20, TRUE)),
  y = rnorm(20),
  x = rnorm(20)
)

runner(
  x = df,
  k = "7 days",
  idx = df$date,
  f = function(data) coef(lm(y ~ x, data = data))[2]
)
