Parameters:

as_series : bool, optional (default=False)

Whether to return a Pandas series. If True, the index will be set to the observed years. If False, will return a 1d numpy array.

dtype : type, optional (default=np.float64)

The type to return for the array. Default is np.float64, which is used throughout the package as the default type.

Notes

This is annual data and not seasonal in nature (i.e., \(m=1\))
