Actually my last reply will drop one row since its pushed off to beyond the data range. You can avoid that with zooreg:
# from before for comparison lag(z, -1, na.pad = TRUE) # pure shift - note use of zooreg here # Unlike lag.zoo, lag.zooreg can shift beyond data range zr <- as.zooreg(z) lag(zr, -1) # lag.zooreg does not have an na.pad= arg but we # can merge it with original times to get NA row. merge(lag(zr, -1), zoo(, time(zr))) On Thu, Jul 10, 2008 at 5:52 PM, Gabor Grothendieck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > See ?lag and in zoo ?lag.zoo.
