This is a simple library to add type constraints to pandas Series. There are several reasons why you might want to do this:

• You want to ensure that the data in your Series is of a certain type.
• You want to ensure that the data in your Series is clean and consistent.
• You want to ensure that the data in your Series is correct and valid.
• You want to convert the data in your Series to a certain unit.

In the context of vantage6, this is useful for:

• Users can only select valid variables (types) when creating a task.
• Data extraction jobs can be validated against the expected types.
• The users has more context about the data they are working with.
• The algorithm can convert the data to the correct unit it requires.
• Analysis outputs can display the correct unit.
• Missing categories can now be counted as 0.
