Researchers have developed TEGER, a novel residual covariance model designed to continuously update the predictive uncertainty of traffic forecasting models. This method allows a forecaster's uncertainty estimates to remain current at test time without requiring retraining of the underlying model. By using a fixed sensor graph to encode spatial correlations and incorporating a moving-average volatility term, TEGER can adjust for local drift and rescale marginal uncertainty. Applied to the Chronos time-series foundation model, TEGER reduced the CRPS_sum metric from 0.1798 to 0.1736, demonstrating its effectiveness in improving forecast accuracy and correlated uncertainty.
