Arguments

df	A data frame containing data vintages. The data frame must include the columns pub_date (publication date of the release) and time (the corresponding time period for the data).

Details

For each time period, the function identifies the release with the latest publication date (pub_date) and adds a column release that labels the release as release_N, where N is the release index (zero indexed).

Value
