The Conflicted Package

Great package authors think alike. This means they often come up with the same function number. In base R, there is a function called lag() that is used in time-series. In the dplyr package, a similarly named function used to next values in a vector.

You are going to use the conflicted package to handle this issue.

Instructions

  • Use conflict_prefer() to select the dplyr version of lag().
  • Test the lag() function and verify it gives the expected output. This has been done for you.
