If not set, the DataFrame index will be used. In this case the DataFrame must contain an index that is
either a pandas DatetimeIndex, a pandas RangeIndex, or a pandas Index that can be converted to a
RangeIndex. It is better if the index has no holes; alternatively setting `fill_missing_dates` can in some
cases solve these issues (filling holes with NaN, or with the provided `fillna_value` numeric value, if

I would maybe add something between parentheses saying that a monotonically increasing time index in this context means that the groups have non-overlapping (time) index.
