How to Calculate Lag in Pandas DataFrame: A Step-by-Step Guide for Analyzing Delinquency Trends
To solve this problem, we need to create a table that includes the customer_id, binned_due_date, and days_after_due_date columns from your original data. Then we can calculate the lag of the delinquency column for 7 days (d7_t-1) and 30 days (d30_t-1) using the following SQL query: SELECT customer_id, binned_due_date, days_after_due_date, delinquency, lag(delinquency) OVER (PARTITION BY customer_id ORDER BY days_after_due_date) AS d7_t-1, lag(delinquency) OVER (PARTITION BY customer_id ORDER BY days_after_due_date, binned_due_date) AS d30_t-1 FROM your_table If you are using Python with pandas library to manipulate and analyze data, here is the equivalent code:
