Conformal prediction across scales: Finite-sample coverage with hierarchical efficiency by Ali Baheri, Marzieh Amiri Shahbazi

“…We establish theoretical results confirming that the multi-scale prediction set retains the marginal coverage guarantees of the original conformal framework and can, in fact, yield smaller or more precise sets in practice. By distributing the total miscoverage probability across scales in proportion to their informative power, the method further refines the set sizes. …”
