Widget confidence bands
The visible points of the trend line are used to calculate the confidence band. If you increase the date range, the bands are recalculated using the trend for the new date range.
First, the confidence bands are calculated using the standard error of the trend. The width of the band depends on the number of points that are included in the calculation and the mean of the scores. If the standard error is low, the trend line is shown to be accurate. As the number of points decreases, or outliers are recorded, the confidence band widens. The confidence of the trend is less certain with fewer data points or with volatile scores.
