面向一般右删失数据的保形化生存反事实预测
ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. This paper aims to develop a lower prediction bound (LPB) for survival time across different treatments in the general right-censored setting. Although previous methods have utilized conformal prediction to construct the LPB, their resulting prediction sets provide only probably approximately correct (PAC)–type miscoverage guarantees rather than exact ones. To address this problem, we propose a new calibration procedure under the potential outcome framework. Under the strong ignorability assumption, we propose a reweighting scheme that can transform the problem into a weighted conformal inference problem, allowing an LPB to be obtained via quantile regression with an exact miscoverage guarantee.
