Lag

Syntax

Lag(Input: ITimeSeries, Value: Integer)

Parameters

Input. Variable.

Value. The parameter sets a shift (lag) of variable points in a time period. It can take only positive values. Optional parameter. By default the parameter is set to 1 - shift by one point.

Description

It shifts the variable forward to the specified number of points in the time period.

Example

Formula	Result	Application
= Lag({Brazil\|BCA}, 2)	The Brazil\|BCA factor observations are moved by two points forward in time period.	It can be used in formulas of calculated series of time series database and model formulas of modeling container that is a child of the time series database.
= Lag(X1, 3)	The X1 factor points are shifted by three points forward at time period.	It can be used in model formulas of modeling container.
