This function converts the string representation of the timestep to its corresponding numeric value or returns the numeric input (if it is a whole number). For "day", "week", it returns 1 and 7 respectively. For "month", it returns "month" as months are not a fixed number of days. If the input is a numeric whole number, it is returned as is.
