+"""
+Core classes for time/date related arrays.
+
+The `DateArray` class provides a base for the creation of date-based objects,
+using days as the base units. This class could be adapted easily to objects
+with a smaller temporal resolution (for example, using one hour, one second as the
+base unit).
+
+The `TimeSeries` class provides  a base for the definition of time series.
+A time series is defined here as the combination of two arrays:
+    
+    - an array storing the time information (as a `DateArray` instance);
+    - an array storing the data (as a `MaskedArray` instance.
+
+These two classes were liberally adapted from `MaskedArray` class.

+=== TimeSeries ===
+
+A TimeSeries object is the combination of three ndarrays:
+    
+    - `dates`: DateArray object.
+    - `data` : ndarray.
+    - `mask` : Boolean ndarray, indicating missing or invalid data.
+    
+
+==== Construction ====
+
+To construct a TimeSeries, you can use the class constructor:
+
+>>> TimeSeries(data, dates=None, mask=nomask, 
+               freq=None, observed=None, start_date=None, 
+               dtype=None, copy=False, fill_value=None,
+               keep_mask=True, small_mask=True, hard_mask=False)
+               
+where `data` is a sequence.
+If `dates` is None, a DateArray of the same length as the data is constructed at 
+a `freq` frequency, starting at `start_date`.
+
+Alternatively, you can use the `time_series` function:
+
+
+time_series(data, dates=None, freq=None, 
+            start_date=None, end_date=None, length=None, include_last=True,
+            mask=nomask, dtype=None, copy=False, fill_value=None,
+            keep_mask=True, small_mask=True, hard_mask=False)    
+
+
+Let us construct a series of 600 random elements, starting 600 business days ago, 
+at  a business daily frequency
+
+>>> import numpy as np
+>>> import tseries as ts
+>>> import tsdate as td
+>>> data = np.random.uniform(-100,100,600)
+>>> today = td.thisday('B')
+>>> series = ts.time_series(data, dtype=np.float_, freq='B', observed='SUMMED',
+                            start_date=today-600)
+                            
+Let us set negative values to zero...
+
+>>> series[series<0] = 0
+
+... and the values falling on Fridays to 100
+>>> series[series.day_of_week == 4] = 100
+
+Note that we could also create a temporary array of 'day_of weeks' for the 
+corresponding period, and use it as condition.
+
+>>> weekdays = td.day_of_week(series)
+>>> series[weekdays == 4] = 100
+
+==== Slicing ====
+
+Accessing elements of a TimeSeries works just like slicing
+>>> series[-30:]
+
+But you can also use a date:
+>>> thirtydaysago = today-30
+>>> series[thirtydaysago:]
+
+Or even a string
+>>> series[thirtydaysago.tostring():]
+
+
+==== Conversions ====
+
+To convert a TimeSeries to another frequency, use the `convert` method or function.
+The optional argument `func` must be a function that acts on a 1D masked array 
+and returns a scalar. 
+
+>>> mSer1 = series.convert('M',func=ma.average)
+
+If `func` is not specified, the default value `'auto'` is used instead. In that case,
+the conversion function is estimated from the `observed` attribute of the series.
+For example, if `observed='SUMMED'`, then `func='auto'` is in fact `func=sum`.
+
+>>> mSer1_default = series.convert('M')
+
+If `func` is None, the convert method/function returns a 2D array, where each row 
+corresponds to the new frequency, and the columns to the original data. In our 
+example, convert will return a 2D array with 23 columns, as there are at most
+23 business days per month.
+
+>>> mSer1_2d = series.convert('M',func=None)
+
+When converting from a lower frequency to a higher frequency, an extra argument
+`position` is required. The value of the argument is either 'START' or 'END', 
+and determines where the data point will be placed in the
+period. In the future, interpolation methods will be supported to fill in the
+resulting masked values.
+
+Let us create a second series, this time with a monthly frequency, starting 110
+months ago.
+>>> data = np.random.uniform(-100,100,100).astype(np.float_)
+>>> today = today.asfreq('M') - 110
+>>> mSer2 = ts.TimeSeries(data, freq='m', observed='END',start_date=today)
+>>> sixtymonthsago = today-60
+>>> mSer2[sixtymonthsago:sixtymonthsago+10] = 12

+sixtymonthsago = today-60
+mSer2[sixtymonthsago:sixtymonthsago+10] = 12
+
+
+"""
+==== Operations on TimeSeries ====
+
+If you work with only one TimeSeries, you can use regular commands to process
+the data. For example:
+
+>>> mSer2_log = np.log(mSer2)
+
+Note that invalid values (negative, in that case), are automatically masked.
+Note as well that trying to use the maskedarray command directly is unlikely to 
+work: you would end up with a regular MaskedArray.
+
+When working with multiple series, only series of the same frequency, size and
+starting date can be used in basic operations. The function `align_series` forces
+series to have matching starting and ending dates. By default, the starting date
+will be set to the smallest starting date of the series, and the ending date to
+the largest. [An alias to `align_series` is aligned]
+
+Let's construct a list of months, starting on Jan 2005 and ending on Dec 2006,
+with a gap from Oct 2005 to Dec 2006. 
+
+>>> mlist = ['2005-%02i' % i for i in range(1,10)]
+>>> mlist += ['2006-%02i' % i for i in range(2,13)]
+>>> mdata = numpy.arange(len(mlist))
+>>> mser1 = time_series(mdata, mlist, observed='SUMMED')
+
+Note that the frequency is 'U', for undefined. In fact, you have to specify what
+kind of data is actually missing by forcing a given frequency.
+
+>>> mser1 = mser1.asfreq('M')
+
+Let us check whether there are some duplicated dates (no):
+
+>>> mser1.has_duplicated_dates()
+
+...or missing dates (yes):
+
+>>> mser1.has_missing_dates()
+
+Let us construct a second monthly series, this time without missing dates
+
+>>> mlist2 = ['2004-%02i' % i for i in range(1,13)]
+>>> mlist2 += ['2005-%02i' % i for i in range(1,13)]
+>>> mser2 = time_series(mdata, mlist2, observed='SUMMED')
+
+Let's try to add the two series:
+
+>>> mser3 = mser1 + mser2
+
+That doesn't work, as the series have different starting dates. We need to align 
+them first.
+

-        masked values appropriately. If func is "auto", then an

-        placed at the end of the month). Interp is the method that will be used

+"""
+Core classes for time/date related arrays.
+
+The `DateArray` class provides a base for the creation of date-based objects,
+using days as the base units. This class could be adapted easily to objects
+with a smaller temporal resolution (for example, using one hour, one second as the
+base unit).
+
+The `TimeSeries` class provides  a base for the definition of time series.
+A time series is defined here as the combination of two arrays:
+    
+    - an array storing the time information (as a `DateArray` instance);
+    - an array storing the data (as a `MaskedArray` instance.
+
+These two classes were liberally adapted from `MaskedArray` class.
