Improved conformalized quantile regression
Conformalized quantile regression is a procedure that inherits the advantages of conformal prediction and quantile regression. That is, we use quantile regression to estimate the true conditional quantile and then apply a conformal step on a calibration set to ensure marginal coverage. In this way, we get adaptive prediction intervals that account for heteroscedasticity. However, the aforementioned conformal step lacks adaptiveness as described in (Romano et al., 2019). To overcome this limitation, instead of applying a single conformal step after estimating conditional quantiles with quantile regression, we propose to cluster the explanatory variables weighted by their permutation importance with an optimized k-means and apply k conformal steps. To show that this improved version outperforms the classic version of conformalized quantile regression and is more adaptive to heteroscedasticity, we extensively compare the prediction intervals of both in open datasets.
