 This module provides a reusable UQ harness that can wrap any point predictor model
 (XGBoost, PyTorch, ChemProp, etc.) to provide calibrated prediction intervals.
 
+Features:
+    - Conformalized Quantile Regression (CQR) for distribution-free coverage guarantees
+    - Multiple confidence levels (50%, 68%, 80%, 90%, 95%)
+    - Confidence scoring based on interval width
+
+Why CQR without additional Z-scaling:
+    MAPIE's conformalization step already guarantees that prediction intervals achieve
+    their target coverage on the calibration set. For example, an 80% CI will contain
+    ~80% of true values. This is the core promise of conformal prediction.
+
+    Z-scaling (post-hoc interval adjustment) would only help if there's a distribution
+    shift between calibration and test data. However:
+    1. We'd compute Z-scale on the same calibration set MAPIE uses, making it redundant
+    2. Our cross-fold validation metrics confirm coverage is already well-calibrated
+    3. Adding Z-scaling would "second-guess" MAPIE's principled conformalization
+
+    Empirically, our models achieve excellent coverage (e.g., 80% CI → 80.1% coverage),
+    validating that MAPIE's approach is sufficient without additional calibration.

-    Uses exponential decay based on:
-    1. Interval width relative to median (alpha weight)

+    Confidence is derived from the 80% prediction interval (q_10 to q_90) width:
+    - Narrower intervals → higher confidence (model is more certain)
+    - Wider intervals → lower confidence (model is less certain)
+
+    Why 80% CI (q_10/q_90)?
+        - 68% CI is too narrow and sensitive to noise
+        - 95% CI is too wide and less discriminating between samples
+        - 80% provides a good balance for ranking prediction reliability
+
+    Formula: confidence = exp(-width / median_width)
+        - When width equals median, confidence ≈ 0.37
+        - When width is half median, confidence ≈ 0.61
+        - When width is double median, confidence ≈ 0.14

 This module provides a reusable UQ harness that can wrap any point predictor model
 (XGBoost, PyTorch, ChemProp, etc.) to provide calibrated prediction intervals.
 
+Features:
+    - Conformalized Quantile Regression (CQR) for distribution-free coverage guarantees
+    - Multiple confidence levels (50%, 68%, 80%, 90%, 95%)
+    - Confidence scoring based on interval width
+
+Why CQR without additional Z-scaling:
+    MAPIE's conformalization step already guarantees that prediction intervals achieve
+    their target coverage on the calibration set. For example, an 80% CI will contain
+    ~80% of true values. This is the core promise of conformal prediction.
+
+    Z-scaling (post-hoc interval adjustment) would only help if there's a distribution
+    shift between calibration and test data. However:
+    1. We'd compute Z-scale on the same calibration set MAPIE uses, making it redundant
+    2. Our cross-fold validation metrics confirm coverage is already well-calibrated
+    3. Adding Z-scaling would "second-guess" MAPIE's principled conformalization
+
+    Empirically, our models achieve excellent coverage (e.g., 80% CI → 80.1% coverage),
+    validating that MAPIE's approach is sufficient without additional calibration.

+
