New conformal prediction method tackles missing clinical data across hospitals

Researchers have developed a new method for conformal prediction that addresses missing data in clinical measurements across different hospitals. This missingness-aware procedure aims to ensure accurate coverage within patient groups defined by whether specific measurements are recorded. When tested on mortality prediction tasks using eICU and MIMIC-IV datasets, the method showed improvements in reducing coverage gaps compared to pooled calibration, though gains were not uniform across all settings and predictors.

    Missingness-Aware Conformal Prediction Under Cross-Hospital Distribution Shift

    arXiv:2609.30781v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clinical measurements are recorded for some patients but not others, at rates that differ across hospitals, and marginal conformal coverage does not ensure coverage within groups defined by missingness. We propose a missingness-awar…
