The eighty-sixth UQSay seminar on UQ, DACE and related topics will take place online on Thursday afternoon, May 15, 2025.
2–3 PM — Johanna Ziegel (ETH Zürich)
(Conformal) isotonic distributional regression
Isotonic distributional regression (IDR) is a nonparametric distributional regression approach under a monotonicity constraint. It has found application as a generic method for uncertainty quantification, in statistical postprocessing of weather forecasts, and in distributional single index models. IDR has favorable in-sample calibration and optimality properties, which allow to conformalize it and obtain out-of-sample online guarantees.

Practical details: the seminar will be held online using Microsoft Teams.
If you want to attend this seminar (or any of the forthcoming online UQSay seminars), and if you do not already have access to the UQSay group on Teams, simply send an email and you will be invited. Please specify which email address the invitation must be sent to (this has to be the address associated with your Teams account).
You will find the link to the seminar on the "General" UQSay channel on Teams, approximately 15 minutes before the beginning.
The technical side of things: you can use Teams either directly from your web browser or using the "fat client", which is available for most platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac, Android & iOS). We strongly recommend the latter option whenever possible. Please give it a try before the seminar to anticipate potential problems.
