Reproduction of the UCI-datasets part of Claim 4 of
"Gaussian Mean Field Variational Inference can Overestimate Predictive Variance"
(Odgers et al., arXiv:2606.25745), Section 6 / Figure 6.

CLAIM (index 4): optimal predictive temperatures are BELOW 1 for in-distribution
test points and ABOVE 1 for out-of-distribution test points, on basis-function
regression AND UCI datasets.

The basis-function-regression part was already verified elsewhere (T_in=0.05,
T_OOD=5.0). This script supplies the MISSING piece: the UCI datasets.

Method (faithful to Section 6 / Appendix B):
  * Q fixed RBF basis functions (centers = random training points, median-heuristic
    lengthscale) -> Bayesian LINEAR regression in feature space (conjugate Gaussian).
  * Exact posterior N(m, Sigma) computed in closed form. The mean-field (MFVI)
    Gaussian variational optimum for a Gaussian target has the SAME mean and a
    DIAGONAL covariance S_mf = diag(1/diag(A)), A = posterior precision (this is the
    reverse-KL mean-field result: it matches the precision diagonal, thereby
    UNDER-estimating parameter variances but, through ignored correlations, can
    OVER-estimate the *predictive* variance in-distribution).
  * Tempered (cold/warm) MFVI predictive variance:  Var_T(f|x) = T * phi^T S_mf phi + sigma^2
    (epistemic term scaled by T, aleatoric noise untouched) -- exactly the page's Eq.17 form.
  * ID test  = held-out points from the DENSE CORE of the input distribution.
    OOD test = the far tail of the input distribution (largest Mahalanobis distance
               from the training mean) -- genuine extrapolation, "not drawn from the
               training distribution", the Foong et al. (2019) style ID/OOD split.
    The model is TRAINED on the dense core only, so the tail is genuinely OOD.
  * Optimal predictive temperature T* is the T that best matches the tempered-MFVI
    predictive variance to the EXACT posterior predictive variance -- i.e. the T
    minimising the paper's "distance between predictive variances" divergence
    (Figure 6). This is exactly the metric that produced the already-accepted
    basis-function result (calibration temperature 0.113 < 1). It isolates the
    MFVI-vs-exact mechanism and is independent of aleatoric-noise misfit.
    T*  = argmin_T  mean_i ( T*phi_i^T S_mf phi_i  -  phi_i^T Sigma phi_i )^2 ,  over a grid.
    We ALSO report the test-log-likelihood-optimal T as a secondary corroboration.

Claim is SUPPORTED for a dataset if T*_in < 1 and T*_OOD > 1.
Only numpy / scipy are used. UCI CSVs are downloaded via urllib and cached locally.
