Returns:

oldest : ObservationInfo

Oldest observation.

newest : ObservationInfo

Newest observation.

index(value[, start[, stop]]) → integer -- return first index of value.

Returns:

newest : ObservationInfo

The newest ObservationInfo in the ObservationGroup.

oldest()

Return the oldest observation in the group.

Returns:

oldest : ObservationInfo
