As far as I can understand, dendrochronology libraries like dplPy https://opendendro.org/python/ treat years as simple integers, even if they're working with pandas DataFrames. This is quite frustrating.

    @steko@scholar.social Well it's not Python but my approach with https://era.joeroe.io was to treat years as real numbers measuring the length of time elapsed since an event, with an explicit 'reference system' defining the conversion to a calendar (e.g. length of a year, epoch considered the present).
