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.

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.

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."

SPACE: Sample-cloud Predictive Adaptive Conformal Ellipsoids for Multivariate Time-Series Forecasting

SPACE is a conformal wrapper that creates ellipsoidal joint prediction regions for multivariate time‑series forecasts by estimating time‑local covariance directly from the current forecast sample cloud. It calibrates the region’s radius using a dynamic backward window‑selection scheme, avoiding reliance on historical residuals. Experiments on diverse datasets show that SPACE improves joint and rolling coverage, achieving better coverage‑efficiency tradeoffs than existing wrappers.
