set The values are physically stored as a 1-D ndarray of integers. These are called "ordinals" and represent some kind of offset from a base. The `freq` indicates the span covered by each element of the array. All elements in the PeriodArray have the same `freq`. Examples -------- >>> pd.arrays.PeriodArray(pd.PeriodIndex(['2023-01-01', ... '2023-01-02'], freq='D')) ['2023-01-01', '2023-01-02'] Length: 2, dtype: period[D] ič
