lagged variables

[saraberta]

hi guys,
i have some trouble in creating lagged variables to use as external regressors.
i'm trying to use lag(x) but it gives me as result the same time series (x), adding this part at the end:

attr(,"tsp")
[1]    0 2323    1

where do i wrong?are there other functions to be used?
thanks
sara

Hello,

You are doing nothing wrong. Follow this example.

x <- ts(1:5)
# Seems the same with different start and end
lag(x)
# But it's not
cbind(x, lag(x))

Are there other functions? I know of at least one. (In the end.)
These two, though not lags, might also be of interess to you.

?window
y <- window(x, start=2, end=5)
cbind(x, y)

?window.zoo # package zoo

`zlag` <-
function (x, d = 1)
{
     if (d != as.integer(d) || d < 0)
         stop("d must be a non-negative integer")
     if (d == 0)
         return(x)
     else return(c(rep(NA, d), rev(rev(x)[-(1:d)])))
}

cbind(x, zlag(x))

Hope this helps,

The dyn and dynlm packages address this problem.

There is a Lag function in Hmisc and I found this on StackExchange

shift <- function (x, shift_by) { #similar to lag function
    stopifnot(is.numeric(shift_by))
    stopifnot(is.numeric(x))
    if (length(shift_by)>1)
        return(sapply(shift_by,shift, x=x))
    out<-NULL
    abs_shift_by=abs(shift_by)
    if (shift_by > 0 )
        out<-c(tail(x,-abs_shift_by),rep(NA,abs_shift_by))
    else if (shift_by < 0 )
        out<-c(rep(NA,abs_shift_by), head(x,-abs_shift_by))
    else
        out<-x
    out
}
