Lag
Payment of a financial obligation later than is expected or required, as in lead and lag. Also, the number of periods that an independent variable in a regression model is "held back" in order to predict the dependent variable.

lag
The line (vector) that separates any two locations. A lag has length (distance) and direction (orientation).
Note:
1. a rule of thumb is that the lag size times the number of lags should be less than one-half of the largest distances in your dataset;
2. the smaller the lag size, the more accurate the range, the range is the distance where the fitted semivariogram(model line) levels off;
3. This flattening out of the semivariogram indicates that there is little autocorrelation beyond the range.

n. [MUD, IRC; very common] When used without qualification this is synomous with netlag. Curiously, people will often complain "I'm really lagged" when in fact it is their server or network connection that is lagging.

"Man, I'm really lagged - orcs are teleporting all over the place!"

LAG (Time)
(Statistics) The difference in time units of a series value and a previous series value. In time series analysis, the lag typically represents the period of time between the change in the independent or predictor (Exogenous) variable and its strongest (most significant) effect on the dependent or predicted (Endogenous) variable. Also see Lead (Time).

Lag
Metaphorically, trailing behind. In development, some variable S may change faster than others and if they are dependent on each other these temporal differences, called Lag, can cause structur al stress within a system. E.g., in modern society, institutional developments tend to lag behind changes in technology causing many social problems from alienations to social inequalities and conflicts. In cybernetics, lag refers to the time for information to pass through one complete feedback loop. Lag makes regulation difficult. E.g., if the time for a gunner to obtain information about his target plus the time for his projectile to reach its destination is large, a hit is considerably more difficult than if that lag is small. A regulator's lead may compensate for the lag in a feedback loop. (Krippendorff )

Lag
In computing and especially computer networks, a lag is a symptom where result of an action appears later than expected. While different kinds of latency are well defined technical terms, lag is the symptom, not the cause.
Communications latency is the time taken for a packet of data to be sent from one application, travel to, and be received by another application. This includes transit time over the network, and processing time at the source and the destination computers. Specifically, this is the time for encoding the packet for transmission and transmitting it, the time for that serial data to traverse the network equipment between the nodes, and the time to get the data off the circuit. This is also known as "one-way latency". A minimum bound on latency is determined by the distance between communicating devices and the speed at which the signal propagates in the circuits (typically 70-95% of the speed of light). Actual latency is much higher, due to packet processing in networking equipment, and other traffic.
