US株式の横断面戦略：検証、コスト、未使用データでの失敗

# Case Study: US Equities Panel


# Case Study: US Equities Panel

This case study is the broadest cross-sectional equity workflow in the book. It uses daily OHLCV data from NASDAQ Data Link for ~3,200 US stocks spanning 1990 through 2018-Q1 to test whether weak per-stock signals translate into a tradable strategy when scaled across thousands of names. The Fundamental Law of Active Management is the operating frame: the per-stock edge is small, but breadth across the cross-section is supposed to compensate. The role of this case study is to hold that claim against measured signal quality, paired-bootstrap confidence intervals, and an explicit holdout window.

The pipeline is unusually long because the universe is unusually large. Sixteen walk-forward folds (10y train, 1y validation), the most folds of any case study, are paired with multi-horizon labels and a feature panel that mixes momentum, mean-reversion, volatility, liquidity, value proxies, and walk-forward temporal models. The strategy is a daily long-short top-K cross-sectional ranker with dollar-neutral construction and material era-dependent costs (15-30 bps pre-decimalization, 5-15 bps after). The question the strategy-analysis notebook answers is whether the gross signal that survives this much testing also survives selection-adjusted resampling and the 2016-2018 holdout.

## Key Results

**Signal direction.** GBM `leaves_31_huber` on the 5-day variant horizon achieves the highest cross-stage validation Sharpe and a strong daily-pooled IC on the panel's fwd_ret_1d grid. Pooled IC is 0.0357 with the HAC-adjusted 95% CI at [0.0293, 0.0421] over 4,018 daily cross-sections (t_HAC = 10.96), well clear of zero. Per-family rank-1 IC is monotone in horizon for GBM (1d 0.032 → 5d 0.043 → 21d 0.058) and linear (1d 0.016 → 5d 0.022 → 21d 0.029), with each CI excluding zero. Tree-based and linear families produce signals with low pairwise correlation, so an ensemble across families would not be fighting a single shared signal.

**Strategy-stage performance with CIs.** Validation Sharpe for this lineage's risk_overlay carrier (score_weighted top_k=20 + `time_exit_40`) is 2.028 with a paired-bootstrap 95% CI of [1.464, 2.549] (PSR p ≈ 2e-15, classification `excludes_zero_strong`). The strategy posts a higher Sharpe than the equal-weight US-equities universe over the same window by 1.11 [0.48, 1.76] (p ≈ 0, `excludes_zero_strong`). A FF5+MOM HAC regression credits the validation edge as alpha-driven: annualized alpha ≈ 0.76 with t_HAC ≈ 7.7, residual Sharpe ≈ 2.04, R² ≈ 0.01. Cohort-level selection-bias metrics from `cohort_metrics` (family cohort `risk_overlay/fwd_ret_5d/gbm`, K_variants = 20 position-level overlays, K_eff_MP ≈ 2.0, K_eff_ER ≈ 2.5) record DSR_ER 0.106 with p ≈ 0 (and DSR_MP 0.112, ER and MP within 0.006), and PBO 0.0 across 12,870 CSCV combinations × 16 folds. On the broader label cohort (`label/fwd_ret_5d`, K_variants = 314 across all families and stages) the same leader records DSR_ER 0.065 at p ≈ 7e-13 with K_eff_ER ≈ 12.2 — the leader's edge survives both the small overlay-cohort adjustment and the cross-stage cross-family adjustment.

**Holdout closure.** The 2016-Q1 to 2018-Q1 holdout puts this lineage at Sharpe −0.492. The index-paired diff against validation reads −2.520 [−3.804, −1.117] with p ≈ 5e-4. The CI excludes zero on the negative side, so the deterioration is statistically resolved. The reference equal-weight universe over the same holdout window posts Sharpe 1.71 (well above its validation reading of 0.92, reflecting the cap-weighted bull market of that period); against that elevated reference, strategy minus benchmark over the holdout reads −2.363 [−4.591, −0.213] (p ≈ 0.03, `excludes_zero_strong` on the negative side). The overall reading is that the validation edge does not carry across the holdout regime under the chosen rebalance cadence.

**Friction floor.** The cost-sensitivity sweep on this lineage produces a moderately steep envelope. Within the cross-stage rank-1 prediction lineage, zero-cost gross Sharpe is 2.503 (the gross-return ceiling under the 5-day-label / daily-marked strategy), and Sharpe at the 10 bps post-decimalization midpoint is 2.117. The edge-to-cost ratio comfortably clears the 1.2× kill-condition floor (`evidence_passes`). The universal Ch20 gates resolve: validation Sharpe lower bound (1.46) is above zero, and the holdout strategy-vs-EW CI excludes zero negatively. The steepness of the cost curve and the daily rebalance cadence place the strategy in a regime where execution quality is the binding operational constraint.
