Alphalens Utils backshift_returns_series documentation

Hello, I am trying to find the documentation for backshift_returns_series but I can only find

alphalens.utils.get_clean_factor
alphalens.utils.get_clean_factor_and_forward_returns
alphalens.utils.get_forward_returns_columns

in the API reference. Where can I find the remaining documentation?

Thanks!

Looks like it's not in the site's docs currently, but you can find the implementation and docstring in the alphalens repository on GitHub.

Good luck!
