Projected random forests and conformal prediction of circular data
Researchers have developed a new method for predicting outcomes in regression problems involving circular data, such as time of day or direction. This approach utilizes conformal prediction techniques to generate prediction sets with guaranteed coverage and adaptive arc lengths. By projecting existing linear-response regression models onto a circular space, the method can leverage high-performance models designed for linear data. AI
