The problem of constructing honest confidence regions for nonparametric regression is considered. A lower rate of convergence, $n^{-1/4}$, for the size of the confidence region is established. The achievability of this rate is demonstrated using Stein's estimates and the associated unbiased risk estimates. Practical implications are discussed.
