Further background

This part of the project documentation focuses on an understanding-oriented approach. In particular, the background of the project and explanations about its implementation.

We aim to avoid writing instructions or technical descriptions here, they belong elsewhere.

Points we aim to cover:

• Context and background on the library, including why it was created
• Connections within this library and between this library and others
• Deeper (than what is in the tutorials) exploration into some of the concepts in this library

Why did we build this API?

Why this API explains why we built this API the way we did. In particular, the problems that this API solves. This is a good starting point if you're wondering, "Why yet another timeseries representation?".

Converting from discrete to continuous data

Discrete to continuous conversions dives deeper into how the discrete to continuous conversion works and why it is built like this. This is a good resource if you want to get a better sense of how this conversion works and some of its edge cases.

Representations of objects

See Representations for a discussion of the different ways we represent our objects. This is particularly useful if you work in IPython/Jupyter notebooks often.
