Conformal Prediction: a Unified Review of Theory and New Challenges
In this work we provide a review of basic ideas and novel developments about
Conformal Prediction -- an innovative distribution-free, non-parametric
forecasting method, based on minimal assumptions -- that is able to yield in a
very straightforward way predictions sets that are valid in a statistical sense
also in in the finite sample case. The in-depth discussion provided in the
paper covers the theoretical underpinnings of Conformal Prediction, and then
proceeds to list the more advanced developments and adaptations of the original
idea.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:0706.3188,

Synthesis of a Galile oand Wi-Max Three-Band Fractal-Eroded Patch Antenna
In this letter, the synthesis of a three-band patch antenna working in E5-L1 Galileo and Wi − Max frequency bands is described. The geometry of the antenna is defined by performing a Koch-like erosion in a classical rectangular patch structure according to a Particle Swarm strategy to optimize the values of the electrical parameters within given specifications. In order to assess the effectiveness of the antenna design, some results from the numerical synthesis procedure are described and a comparison between simulations and experimental measurements is reported.

The Exponential Map for the Conformal Group 0(2,4)
We present a general method to obtain a closed, finite formula for the
exponential map from the Lie algebra to the Lie group, for the defining
representation of the orthogonal groups. Our method is based on the
Hamilton-Cayley theorem and some special properties of the generators of the
orthogonal group, and is also independent of the metric. We present an explicit
formula for the exponential of generators of the groups, with , in particular we are dealing with the conformal group , which
is homomorphic to the group. This result is needed in the
generalization of U(1) gauge transformations to spin gauge transformations,
where the exponential plays an essential role. We also present some new
expressions for the coefficients of the secular equation of a matrix.Comment: 16pages,plain-TeX,(corrected TeX
