The measure of the time between the center of mass of precipitation to the center of mass of runoff (on the hydrograph). Basin lag is a function of not only basin characteristics, but also of storm intensity and movement. Some hydrologic texts define lag from the center of mass of rainfall to the hydrograph peak. lag (time)

In continuous nuclear logging techniques, radioactivity measurements are made over a period of time in order to average statistical variations. During the statistical averaging period (time constant), the detector is continually moved while surveying. The distance the detector moves during one time constant is commonly called the amount of lag. See dynamic measure point.

1. That part of the difference between the output of an instrument and its input that is due to the failure of the instrument to respond instantaneously to variations of the input signal. It is a function of the instrument's time constant. See time lag. 2. A time displacement of a time series. See autocorrelation. 3. See delay.

Lag distance is a distance (h) within which any two samples (a pair) is taken for variogram calculation. Lag tolerance ( ) is assigned to the lag for setting a search interval for pairs: ± . So the pairs are searched within h ± distance. Often, default lag tolerance is set to half lag distance ( =h/2). See 7.1 Variogram calculation parameters.

The usual delay between the actual time a service is rendered or an item is supplied and the time it is paid for and recorded. Lag includes both claims that have not yet been submitted and claims that have been submitted but not yet paid.

Human procrastination is a major factor in lag.
