Timeseries plots to show percentiles and other statistics of the population

Question

Consider the examples for tsplot (time-series plot) in seaborn, e.g. the one shown below.

Do pandas, matplotlib or seaborn include similar functionality to plot translucent bands representing percentiles or standard deviations of a population provided in a dataframe?

Reading the documentation, it looks like sns.tsplot plots confidence intervals for the sampling distribution of the estimator via bootstrapping, which is of course different.

Answer 1

Worth mentioning that the proposal by raphael conflates percentiles and confidence intervals, which are very different statistics. For example, if you use ci=[0,100] in tsplot, you will not get bands showing the minimum and maximum of your data. An issue requesting inclusion of percentiles was raised on the Seaborn github page in January 2016, with a clear--and curt--reply that this was not currently possible.
