title: Lag 1 Scatter Plot in R
body: <p>I have an assignment. There are two datasets and in one of the questions, I needed to find the lag 1 scatter plot of each time series. </p>
  
  <p>I created the graphs, but my question is what does it tell us? I know we are looking for some sort of autocorrelation, yet I couldn't properly understand it. What can we infer from this scatter plot and how can we make any inference?</p>
  
  <p>To give you a better understanding I added one of the dataset and its graph, as well.</p>

  <p>Data and graph code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>x &lt;- c(39,35,16,18,7,22,13,18,20,9,-12,-11,-19,-9,-2,16)
  plot(dplyr::lag(x), x)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The graph can also be plotted with</p>
  
  <pre><code>tsDyn::autopairs(x, type = "points")
  </code></pre>
