Predicting future responses based on possibly mis-specified working models
基于可能误设的工作模型预测未来响应
Under a general regression setting, we propose an optimal unconditional prediction procedure for future responses. The resulting prediction intervals or regions have a desirable average coverage level over a set of covariate vectors of interest. When the working model is not correctly specified, the traditional conditional prediction method is generally invalid. On the other hand, one can empirically calibrate the above unconditional procedure and also obtain its…
