Summary

In this chapter, we examined many of the ways to represent dates and times and also saw how to represent time-series data and perform various analyses upon these series. There is actually quite a bit of detail in these tasks and the capabilities that are provided by pandas, and it is almost impossible to summarize it in one simple chapter. This chapter provided a core set of examples that can get you working quickly with these concepts.

In the remaining two chapters of this book, we will look more into both visualization of data and working with real examples of data that also take a look at analysis of time-series data from a different perspective by demonstrating how it can be applied to analyzing financial information.
