Partial Datetime Handling
Overview
Datetimes and timestamps are invariably an imprecise notation, with any partial representation implying some amount of uncertainty. To handle this, 'parttime' provides classes for embedding partial missingness as a central part of its datetime classes. This central feature allows for more ergonomic use of datetimes for challenging datetime computation, including calculations of overlapping date ranges, imputations, and more thoughtful handling of ambiguity that arises from uncertain time zones. This package was developed first and foremost with pharmaceutical applications in mind, but aims to be agnostic to application to accommodate general use cases just as conveniently.
