Add many lags to the data

A handy function for adding multiple lagged columns to a data frame. Works with dplyr groups too.

Usage

tk_augment_lags(.data, .value, .lags = 1, .names = "auto")

tk_augment_leads(.data, .value, .lags = -1, .names = "auto")

Arguments

.data

A tibble.

.value

One or more column(s) to have a transformation applied. Usage of tidyselect functions (e.g. contains()) can be used to select multiple columns.

.lags

One or more lags for the difference(s)

.names

A vector of names for the new columns. Must be of same length as .lags.

Value

Returns a tibble object describing the timeseries.

Details

Lags vs Leads

A negative lag is considered a lead. The tk_augment_leads() function is identical to tk_augment_lags() with the exception that the automatic naming convetion (.names = 'auto') will convert column names with negative lags to leads.

Benefits

This is a scalable function that is:

• Designed to work with grouped data using dplyr::group_by()

• Add multiple lags by adding a sequence of lags using the .lags argument (e.g. .lags = 1:20)

Augment Operations:

• tk_augment_timeseries_signature() - Group-wise augmentation of timestamp features

• tk_augment_holiday_signature() - Group-wise augmentation of holiday features

• tk_augment_slidify() - Group-wise augmentation of rolling functions

• tk_augment_lags() - Group-wise augmentation of lagged data

• tk_augment_differences() - Group-wise augmentation of differenced data
