Researchers have introduced CoCP, a novel method for adaptive conformal prediction in regression tasks. This approach addresses inefficiencies caused by fixed interval centering in heteroscedastic and skewed data by parameterizing prediction intervals with both a center and a radius. CoCP alternates between learning the radius via smooth quantile regression on folded residuals and refining the center using a smooth interval loss, thereby correcting mis-centering and directing intervals toward high-density regions. The method is proven to achieve finite-sample marginal validity through split-conformal calibration and asymptotic conditional coverage with optimal interval length under consistent base estimators, demonstrating improved empirical conditional-coverage reliability and tighter intervals in experiments.
