Puzzling to see such methods - it is proven they don't work #28

Puzzling to see such methods - it is proven they don't work. Relying on normality assumptions and parametric methods can not produce good prediction intervals.

I agree! That's why PGBM doesn't rely on a normality assumption.

I'm not sure what the issue is, though?
