def infer_freq(index, warn=True):
"""
Infer the most likely frequency given the input index. If the frequency is
uncertain, a warning will be printed.
Parameters
----------
index : DatetimeIndex or TimedeltaIndex
if passed a Series will use the values of the series (NOT THE INDEX)
warn : boolean, default True
Returns
-------
freq : string or None
None if no discernible frequency
TypeError if the index is not datetime-like
ValueError if there are less than three values.
