New research explores conformal prediction for competing risks with censoring

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This paper explores conformal prediction methods for competing risks, focusing on how censoring affects coverage guarantees. The authors investigate the impact of complete-case calibration, which only considers fully observed data, and demonstrate that it can lead to under-coverage, especially when censoring is prevalent. They propose using weights derived from a correctly specified censoring model to maintain nominal coverage, extending prior work on cause labels and establishing a finite-sample coverage lower bound that accounts for censoring model error.

    When does conformal calibration need censoring weights? Cause-of-failure prediction sets under competing risks

    arXiv:2610.08602v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Split conformal prediction sets for competing-risks labels at a fixed horizon require calibration labels that right censoring can leave unobserved. Complete-case calibration guarantees coverage for the label-complete subpopulation…
