Confidence bands for linear regressions

A method for obtaining confidence bands for regression functions is given. The algorithm allows for the construction of simultaneous confidence intervals for multiple regression functions containing up to seven parameters. Various types of constraints on predictor variables are allowed as well as different shapes for the confidence bands. Computations, examples and comparisons illuminate the effectiveness and accuracy of the algorithm.
