Dear Maarten,

thanks. However, I would like the plotted interval to reflect the
precision of the underlying parameter estimates. For instance, in my
example the parameter estimates have large standard errors up to knot
3, small ones up to knot x, and so on. My plot should reflect these
differences in the sense that the confidence bounds should be wider in
areas with less precise estimates (in my example up to knot 3) and
tighter in areas with more precise estimates (from knot 3 to knot x).
If you have any idea on this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.

Best regards and a nice evening,
Nils
