the following generic descriptors as short-hand to indicate which
specific types may be used:

* dict-like : dict, OrderedDict, pd.Series
* numeric : scalar, np.array, pd.Series. Typically int or float dtype.
* array-like : np.array, pd.Series. Typically int or float dtype.
* _`dict-like` : dict, OrderedDict, pd.Series
* _`numeric` : scalar, np.array, pd.Series. Typically int or float dtype.
* _`array-like` : np.array, pd.Series. Typically int or float dtype.

Parameters that specify a specific type require that specific input type.
