Thanks for the answer Matt.  Just to be sure, is it a lag or lead or lead of one sample?

Hi Scott, 

The lags and leads arguments only include one lag or lead. Any more lags/leads would need to be constructed in the data before imputation. 

Cheers,
matt.

Hello,
 
When Amelia is given a lags or lead argument, does it include in its model only one lag or lead, advanced or delayed by one sample?  Or does it instead consider multiple lags or leads and pick the best subset with some algorithm?
 
Thanks,
 
Scott
