I am trying to lag a time series. My data is in a matrix, but I coerce it into a ts object. But when I lag it and then look at the result, nothing has changed. What am I doing wrong?????
residsq<-resid^2 residsq<-as.ts(residsq) lag1residsq<-lag(residsq,-1) > residsq[1:5] 1 2 3 4 5 87.759 329882.188 5325849.333 31512.334 70865.228 > lag1residsq[1:5] 1 2 3 4 5 87.759 329882.188 5325849.333 31512.334 70865.228 > PS: I tried to lag the series manually using rbind(0, residsq), but the result ended up returning me [ 0, residsq(1), 0, residsq(2), 0, ....] WTF!!!! how do you stack 1 element onto another in R? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/lag-function-doesn%27t-work---what-am-i-doing-wrong--tp19922651p19922651.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
