Weighted Conformal Prediction for Lab-to-Track Thermal Transfer in EV Motorsport Powertrains

arXiv:2607. 02722v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Predicting thermal volatility in high-performance EV powertrains is difficult as internal temperatures are rarely observable outside the lab, and models calibrated on lab drive cycles fail when deployed against real-world loads.

Conformal Calibration Transfer

Conformal Calibration Transfer addresses the challenge of applying conformal prediction when labeled calibration data is only available in a source space, while predictions are needed in a target space linked via unlabeled paired observations. The proposed Transported Conformal Calibration (TCC) method transports source calibration into the target domain and then corrects residual mismatches using only unlabeled target inputs, with two variants: TCC‑KS, which conservatively adjusts calibration based on a label‑free uncertainty surrogate, and weighted‑TCC, which reweights transported calibration for efficiency when weights are stable. Finite‑sample target‑domain coverage guarantees are provided, and experiments on CIFAR‑100‑C, Tiny‑ImageNet‑C, and SEN12MS demonstrate reliable coverage transfer without labeled target data, along with label‑free diagnostics to signal when correction is required.

Dynamic Regime-Aware Conformal Calibration for Reliable Economic Forecast Intervals under Multiple Distribution Shifts

Dynamic Regime-Aware Conformal Prediction (DRACP) is a new method that blends density‑ratio estimation, localized kernel weighting, and probabilistic regime‑aware weighting with a self‑tuning online significance controller to produce reliable prediction intervals under multiple distribution shifts. The authors prove finite‑sample validity with oracle weights, provide a coverage‑gap bound for estimated weights, and give deterministic or regret guarantees for the online controller. In experiments on 48 real forecasting series—including euro‑area inflation, US macroeconomic and energy indicators, and daily financial data—DRACP achieves the most reliable calibration, maintaining coverage close to the nominal 0.90 and never falling below 0.80, while other methods achieve narrower intervals but with higher under‑coverage. whyItMatters":"DRACP offers a principled trade‑off between calibration and efficiency, ensuring that prediction intervals meet coverage standards even when economic data exhibit covariate shift, concept drift, and latent regimes."

Climate-Invariant Conformal Prediction Intervals for Multi-Horizon Solar and Wind Forecasting

arXiv:2607. 11470v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reliable uncertainty quantification is essential for integrating solar and wind generation into modern power systems, where operators must weigh risk rather than act on point forecasts alone.

Predictive Conformal Slip Monitoring: An Empirical Evaluation of Rolling Split Conformal Prediction for Pre-Incident Traction Loss Detection

Conventional traction control architectures intervene only after the adhesion limit of a tire has already been breached. This paper investigates whether Rolling Split Conformal Prediction , monitoring the volatility of non-conformity residuals from a per-driver Random Forest model of expected slip behavior , can serve as a statistically grounded pre-incident warning signal, ahead of gross traction loss.

Retrieval-Corrected Conformal Prediction for Time Series

arXiv:2608. 10553v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conformal prediction (CP) provides distribution-free prediction intervals for fixed forecasters, but its standard calibration procedure is often inefficient for time series data, where forecast errors are temporally dependent and change across time and operating conditions.

CS-WCP: Robust Conformal Sets for LLM-Judge Traffic Shifts with Uncertain Group Proportions

CS-WCP introduces confidence‑set weighted conformal prediction to provide robust prediction sets for large‑language‑model judges when deployment traffic shifts the prevalence of task or policy groups. By constructing simultaneous exact intervals for source and target group masses and taking the union over all compatible ratio vectors, CS‑WCP achieves high coverage (mean 0.973) with few failures across 336 constructed traffic shifts, outperforming standard source conformal prediction. The method offers an auditable coverage safeguard under uncertain mixture weights, focusing on conservative tail protection rather than tighter set sizes.

Retrieval-Corrected Conformal Prediction for Time Series

Conformal prediction (CP) provides distribution-free prediction intervals for fixed forecasters, but its standard calibration procedure is often inefficient for time series data, where forecast errors are temporally dependent and change across time and operating conditions. Recent time series CP methods improve local calibration using recent, weighted, or localized residuals.
