Best method to transform discontinuous Series of dates into a "days since beginning" variable
Post Body
I have an array of dates in a Pandas DataFrame which looks like this:
3 2015-02-10
4 2015-02-11
5 2015-02-12
6 2015-03-05
7 2015-03-06
As you can see there are gaps in the data; some days don't have observations. What I want to do is turn this into a variable which looks like this
3 25
4 26
5 27
6 48
7 49
Assuming the observation period started 25 days before observation #3 shown here.
Is there a widely used method for this I'm not aware of?
