locfit (version 1.1-3)

scb: Simultaneous Confidence Bands

Description

scb is implemented as a front-end to locfit, to compute simultaneous confidence bands using the tube formula method and extensions, based on Sun and Loader (1994).

Some examples can also be found at http://sun.cwru.edu/~jiayang/sci3.html.

Usage

scb(x, ..., type=1)

Arguments

x

A numeric vector or matrix of predictors (as in locfit.raw), or a model formula (as in locfit).

...

Additional arguments to locfit.raw; e.g., mg, flim, etc.

type

Type of confidence bands. type=0 computes pointwise 95% bands. type=1 computes basic simultaneous bands with no corrections. type=2,3,4 are the centered and corrected bands for parametric regression models listed in

Value

• A list containing the evaluation points, fit, standard deviations and upper and lower confidence bounds. The class is "scb"; methods for printing and ploting are provided.
