Examples

>>> pidx = pd.period_range("2010-01-01", "2015-01-01", freq="Y")
>>> pidx
PeriodIndex(['2010', '2011', '2012', '2013', '2014', '2015'],
dtype='period[Y-DEC]')

>>> pidx.asfreq("M")
PeriodIndex(['2010-12', '2011-12', '2012-12', '2013-12', '2014-12',
'2015-12'], dtype='period[M]')

>>> pidx.asfreq("M", how="S")
PeriodIndex(['2010-01', '2011-01', '2012-01', '2013-01', '2014-01',
'2015-01'], dtype='period[M]')
