    """
    One-dimensional ndarray with axis labels (including time series).
    Labels need not be unique but must be any hashable type. The object
    supports both integer- and label-based indexing and provides a host of
    methods for performing operations involving the index. Statistical
    methods from ndarray have been overridden to automatically exclude
    missing data (currently represented as NaN)

    Operations between Series (+, -, /, *, **) align values based on their
    associated index values-- they need not be the same length. The result
    index will be the sorted union of the two indexes.

    Parameters
    ----------
    data : array-like, dict, or scalar value
        Contains data stored in Series
    index : array-like or Index (1d)
        Values must be unique and hashable, same length as data. Index
        object (or other iterable of same length as data) Will default to
        np.arange(len(data)) if not provided. If both a dict and index
        sequence are used, the index will override the keys found in the

    The time series varians of Series, a One-dimensional ndarray with `TimeStamp`

    Labels need not be unique but must be any hashable type. The object
    supports both integer- and label-based indexing and provides a host of
    methods for performing operations involving the index. Statistical
    methods from ndarray have been overridden to automatically exclude
    missing data (currently represented as NaN)

    Operations between Series (+, -, /, *, **) align values based on their
    associated index values-- they need not be the same length. The result
    index will be the sorted union of the two indexes.

    Parameters
    ----------
    data : array-like, dict, or scalar value
        Contains data stored in Series
    index : array-like or Index (1d)
        Values must be unique and hashable, same length as data. Index
        object (or other iterable of same length as data) Will default to
        np.arange(len(data)) if not provided. If both a dict and index
        sequence are used, the index will override the keys found in the
        dict.
