Summary

In this chapter, you've mastered many core methods provided by pandas that make working with and analyzing time series data easy. Starting with the enhancements provided by pandas for the Timestamp data types, you saw that we can use time-aware methods to interpolate missing values or resample a time series to a higher or lower frequency (period). These methods are all very common patterns in business analysis and data science, and you are now well equipped to analyze most data that may come your way. This chapter prepares you for the next one, Chapter 13, Exploring Time Series, where you will learn advanced methods for working with time as in an index, culminating with building a time series model.
