+Conformal prediction uses past experience to determine
+precise levels of confidence in new predictions. The proposed methodology
+allows for the construction of a distribution-free prediction bands for
+the response variable using any algorithm. The resulting prediction bands
+preserves marginal coverage guarantee, where predictive coverage holds on
+average over all possible test points, but is not sufficient for many
+practical applications. We aim to produce predictive conditional coverage
+rather than marginally with certain types of constrains and assumptions,
+while still being possible to achieve in a distribution-free setting.
