Conditioning on the data and averaging over a design measure mu, we formalize mu-coverage for central intervals and mu-probabilistic calibration through randomized probability integral transforms. We introduce two methods. cps-gp adapts conformal predictive systems to GP interpolation using standardized leave-one-out residuals, yielding stepwise predictive distributions with finite-sample marginal calibration. bcr-gp retains the GP posterior mean and replaces the Gaussian residual by a generalized normal model fitted to cross-validated standardized residuals. A Bayesian selection rule-based either on a posterior upper quantile of the variance for conservative prediction or on a cross-posterior Kolmogorov-Smirnov criterion for probabilistic calibration-controls dispersion and tail behavior while producing smooth predictive distributions suitable for sequential design. Numerical experiments on benchmark functions compare cps-gp, bcr-gp, Jackknife+ for GPs, and the full conformal Gaussian process, using calibration metrics (coverage, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, integral absolute error) and accuracy or sharpness through the scaled continuous ranked probability score.<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><br \/>\n    Aur&#8217;elien Pion, Emmanuel Vazquez<br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/2512.05611\">Go to original source<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Design-marginal calibration of Gaussian process predictive distributions: Bayesian and conformal approaches arXiv:2512.05611v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the calibration of Gaussian process (GP) predictive distributions in the interpolation setting from a design-marginal perspective.
