R code : Creating lagged Xs and y for supervised learning

This post shows a simple R code to create various lagged time series and concatenate them with the original time series. This can be used frequently when preprocessing time series data for machine/deep learning models.

Creating lagged Xs and y

Time series and its various lagged one are used as input variables for supervised machine or deep learning models. The following R code generates this concatenation of a set of lagged and time-t variables of the time series.

As an output format, Xs (lagged variables) are followed by y since it is relatively easy to access X by using "1:nk" rather than "2:(nk+1)".

As expected, the results of two examples in the above R code are as follows.
