function xlag = mlag(x,n,init)
% PURPOSE: generates a matrix of n lags from a matrix (or vector)
%          containing a set of vectors (For use in var routines)
%---------------------------------------------------
% USAGE:     xlag = mlag(x,nlag)
%       or: xlag1 = mlag(x), which defaults to 1-lag
% where: x = a matrix (or vector), nobs x nvar
%     nlag = # of contiguous lags for each vector in x
%     init = (optional) scalar value to feed initial missing values
%            (default = 0)
%---------------------------------------------------
% RETURNS:
%        xlag = a matrix of lags (nobs x nvar*nlag)
%        x1(t-1), x1(t-2), ... x1(t-nlag), x2(t-1), ... x2(t-nlag) ...
% --------------------------------------------------
% SEE ALSO: lag() which works more conventionally
