_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     '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 <URL:
     http://sun.cwru.edu/~jiayang/sci3.html>.

_U_s_a_g_e:

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

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       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 Table 3 of
          Sun, Loader and McCormick (2000). 

_V_a_l_u_e:

     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.
