?? A confidence region for what? Confidence regions refer to parameters and functions of parameters (e.g. means of fitted values) and are completely incommensurate with the scale of the data. It sounds like you are confusing basic concepts (i.e. you don't really understand what a confidence region is), a common but severe error made by those with inadequate statistical knowledge.
Of course, maybe you do have something in mind that makes sense; but then you need to clarify. And as this has nothing to do with R, you should not post further on this list. Try stats.stackexchange.com instead. -- Bert On Wed, Aug 8, 2012 at 12:21 PM, Zhiqiu Hu <zhiqiu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear all, > > Is there any standard statistical terminology describing the points beyond > a confidence region?
