CDF Confidence Band
The confidence band gives a confidence region for the population distribution. The critical values given by Feller (1948) for the completely specified hypothesized distribution are used to generate the confidence band. All parameters in the hypothesized distribution are known. The null hypothesis that the population distribution is equal to a given completely specified distribution is rejected if the hypothesized distribution falls outside the confidence band at any point.
You specify the confidence coefficient in the cumulative distribution options dialog or by choosing Curves:CDF Confidence Band.
