 Confidence band

A confidence band provides simultaneous bounds on an unknown function over its entire index set. Its coverage event is the intersection over all indices, unlike separate pointwise confidence intervals. For a continuous cumulative distribution function, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov theorem gives an asymptotic band $F_n\pm c_{\alpha }/\sqrt{n}$, clipped to $[0,1]$, where $c_{\alpha }$ is a $(1-\alpha )$-quantile of the absolute Brownian bridge maximum. The simultaneous event equals $\sqrt{n}\Vert F_n-F{\Vert }_{\infty }\le c_{\alpha }$, so convergence in distribution at this continuity point proves coverage tending to $1-\alpha$.
