Exact Risk-Complexity Laws for Projective Boundaries in Scenario Optimization and Distribution-Free Certification

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 1, 2026 · UTC

Scenario optimization, conformal prediction, and related distribution-free certification methods use finite samples to construct decisions or prediction sets with violation-risk guarantees for fresh observations. In several classical settings, the conditional violation risk follows an exact beta law, whose tail has a beta-binomial representation and whose parameter is a support, calibration, or compression dimension. This paper identifies the deterministic boundary mechanism behind these formulas and derives the corresponding law when the observed boundary size is random. A decision rule is re
