tsbootstrap: Distribution-Free Uncertainty Quantification and Conformal Prediction for Time Series

arXiv:2607. 06690v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Finance, sensing, and demand streams violate the exchangeability that IID conformal prediction and the IID bootstrap assume, and existing libraries implement either a general resampling engine or conformal calibration without the other.

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."

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.
