Introduced by Rhys Green et al. in MACEst: The reliable and trustworthy Model Agnostic Confidence Estimator
archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.
Model Agnostic Confidence Estimator, or MACEst, is a model-agnostic confidence estimator. Using a set of nearest neighbours, the algorithm differs from other methods by estimating confidence independently as a local quantity which explicitly accounts for both aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty. This approach differs from standard calibration methods that use a global point prediction model as a starting point for the confidence estimate.

Usage over time archive 2025-07-28
Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
