Calibration Count Reuse: Validity Does Not Determine Efficiency
Calibration count reuse raises separate validity and efficiency questions. We give a validity criterion for general count-dependent nonconformity scores: transferring one count from another class to the scored class must not improve its conformity. A leave-self-out full conformal reference proves the criterion without requiring normalization or preservation of same-class score order. For a common separable transformation, universal exchangeable validity is equivalent to being nondecreasing in the count, provided $Kα\geq 1$; normalized multiplicative weights obey the complementary nonincreasing condition. Additive penalties are covered under the stated information restrictions. Efficiency ...
