期权特征评估:排名 IC、依赖性校正与搜索控制

代码 《交易机器学习》

总结

本笔记筛选适用于卖出平值跨式期权并持有至到期策略的候选特征。对每个交易日,它比较可用标的按某项特征进行的横截面排名与这些标的最终跨式期权结果的排名,再计算多个验证期内排名一致性的平均值。由于同时检验多个候选项,它会针对仓位重叠调整不确定性,并控制错误发现率。

工作流程还会检查覆盖率和数据陈旧程度、比较各时期的一致性,并在筛查记录表中记录证据和处理决定。它区分统计筛查与模型选择:单变量检验可能遗漏只有组合使用才有用的特征,而后续模型会使用完整面板,而不只是获准晋级的候选项。本笔记不能证明计入期权交易成本后的盈利能力;两个验证期不足以充分判断稳定性,晋级阈值也包含主观判断。

核心观点

  • 通过特征排名与已实现结果之间的日内横截面排名一致性,衡量特征的预测价值。
  • 由于连续多日开仓的仓位彼此重叠,应考虑依赖性。
  • 同时检验许多候选项时,应调整显著性结论。
  • 将晋级视为单变量筛查步骤,而非联合模型价值的证明。
  • 区分预测关联与扣除交易成本后的盈利能力。

# # S&P 500 Options: Feature Evaluation
#
# The strategy this case study builds sells a *straddle* - one call option and one put
# option struck at the money on the same name and expiring on the same day - about a
# month before expiry, and holds the position until the options expire. `03_financial_features`
# and `04_model_based_features` between them built a panel of candidates: quantities known
# about a name on the day the position would be opened. This notebook asks one question
# of each candidate on its own. On the days the strategy would trade, does that
# quantity's ordering of the names available line up with the ordering of what those
# names' straddles went on to earn?
#
# Asking it one candidate at a time is a filter, not a decision. It cannot see a quantity
# that carries information only in combination with another, and it says nothing about
# whether the strategy earns anything once the cost of trading options is paid. The
# modelling notebooks that follow do the first; Chapters 16 to 18 do the second.
#
# **What it reads**: `features/financial.parquet`, `features/model_based.parquet`, and
# the label files under `labels/`.
#
# **What it writes**: `evaluation/triage_ledger.parquet`, one row per candidate carrying
# the evidence gathered here and the handling decision that evidence earned, which the
# Chapter 20 cross-case-study notebook reads; and `evaluation/ic_timeseries.parquet`, the
# day-by-day agreement series Section 2 plots. The modelling notebooks read neither of
# them - they take the whole feature panel.
#
# **Learning Objectives**
#
# - Measure how well one quantity's ranking of the assets available on a day agrees with
#   the ranking of what those assets went on to earn, and average that agreement over a
#   period.
# - Widen the uncertainty around that average to allow for positions opened on
#   consecutive days overlapping in time, so that their outcomes are not independent.
# - Raise the bar a single result has to clear, to account for having asked the same
#   question of every candidate at once.
# - Check whether an association held over both of the periods it was measured on, or
#   came out of one of them.
# - Record, for every candidate, the decision it earned and the evidence behind it, in
#   the file a later chapter reads.
#
# **Book Reference**: Chapter 7, Section 7.3 (Univariate feature-label evaluation) and
# Section 7.4 (Search accounting and multiple testing), with Chapter 8, Section 8.6
# (Combining features and controlling search) as the secondary reference for search
# control.
#
# **Prerequisites**: [`03_financial_features`](03_financial_features.ipynb) and
# [`04_model_based_features`](04_model_based_features.ipynb).

# opened today and one opened tomorrow are alive at the same time over almost all of
# their lives. Three things in this notebook have to span exactly one holding period: the
# window the daily agreement series is smoothed over, the number of lags the uncertainty
# calculation has to allow for, and the horizon the second measurement uses. All three
# are counted from the one number `config/setup.yaml` declares, so that changing the
# strategy's holding period moves them together.

# None of these is estimated from the data. Each is a judgment about what the notebook is
# willing to pass on to the modelling chapters, and each one is stated here rather than
# written into the comparison that uses it, so that a reader can change one and re-run.
#
# | Setting | What it decides |
# |---|---|
# | `COVERAGE_MIN` | A candidate is dropped unless it has a value on at least this share of the panel's rows. Below it, whatever the screen measures comes from a subset of names and dates the notebook has not characterised. |
# | `STALENESS_MAX` | A candidate is dropped if it repeats the previous day's value on more than this share of rows. A quantity that rarely changes cannot re-rank the names between one trade and the next, whatever it correlates with. |
# | `FDR_ALPHA` | The share of the candidates called significant that the notebook accepts being wrong about, once every candidate is tested at once. |
# | `SIGN_CONSISTENCY_MIN` | The share of validation periods in which a candidate has to point the same way before the second promotion route will take it. |
# | `IC_THRESHOLD` | The size of agreement a consistent candidate also has to reach on that route. It is set at the resolution the screen can distinguish rather than at anything the strategy needs: an agreement smaller than this is not separable from zero on a two-period panel of this length. |
#
# `REDUNDANCY_CUT` is not a screen - nothing is dropped for it. It is the level above
# which Section 5 calls a pair of candidates the same evidence twice.

# ## 0. The panel, and the period it may be measured over
#
# Two of the candidates are the output of a model rather than an arithmetic transform of
# a price: `04_model_based_features` fits a GARCH model and a stochastic-volatility model
# to each name's history and writes what each one says the name's volatility was. A model
# fitted on a stretch of history that includes the day being scored has seen the answer,
# so that notebook estimates its parameters on a **refit schedule**: a burn-in, then a fit
# on everything available at that point, which speaks for the following month and no
# earlier day, then a refit. Every value is therefore produced by parameters that stopped
# before the day it describes, on training days as well as validation days, and the file
# carries one row per name and day rather than one per name, day and fold.
#
# What this section keeps is the days that fall inside some fold's **validation period** -
# a period separated from that fold's training window by a gap wide enough that no training
# outcome is still unresolved when it starts. It is the days that are selected here, not an
# estimator: there is only one.
#
# The last year of the sample is a **holdout**: a stretch of data set aside untouched, so
# that the assessment several chapters later is made on prices nothing in the research
# has been chosen against. `config/setup.yaml` declares where it starts. Nothing here may
# read it - not the correlations, not the quantile profiles, not the screens - and
# because the outcome of a straddle sold before the holdout begins is not known until it
# expires, the boundary has to be applied to the day the position closes rather than to
# the day it opens.

# ### Joining features, model outputs and labels into one frame
#
# The join is declared one-to-one in both directions, so a duplicated key raises here
# rather than quietly multiplying a name's contribution to every statistic that follows.
# Being an inner join, it also drops any feature row for which no model output exists,
# which is what confines the frame to the validation periods.
#
# A row inside a validation period can now carry a null model-based value, and it is worth
# being precise about why. `04_model_based_features` fits on a refit schedule, so a name has
# no fitted volatility until its own burn-in has passed - and on this panel a name is only
# quoted while a straddle near the target maturity exists, so many names are short and reach
# that point late or never. Under the per-fold design the column was never null, because each
# fold fitted on its whole training window and then emitted backwards across it: completeness
# there was a symptom of the leak, not evidence against one.
#
# Those rows are dropped rather than kept, and counted rather than dropped quietly. Keeping
# them would score the stage-03 features on rows where the model-based ones cannot be
# evaluated, and this section exists to compare the two on the same rows.

# the arithmetic feature matrix - so they are named here, where they enter the screen.
#
# The table below is what the rest of the notebook runs on: how many candidates each
# family contributes, and the share of panel rows on which they carry a value. The
# families differ in that share by construction. A quantity read off the option quote

# An estimator refitted monthly can still hand back a quantity that barely moves inside a
# fold's validation period while differing between names - a fitted long-run volatility
# level behaves that way. That is not the same thing as a feed that has gone stale, and it
# does not stop the quantity from ranking names against each other, so it is detected here
# and read differently by the staleness screen below.

# ## 1. Can the candidate be read at all?
#
# Two things disqualify a candidate before any question about prediction is worth asking.
#
# The first is **coverage**: the share of the panel's rows on which it has a value at
# all. A candidate that is missing on a third of the panel is still measurable on the
# rows it has, but what it measures is an association over whichever names and dates
# happened to supply those rows, and that subset is not the universe the strategy trades.
#
# The second is **staleness**: the share of rows on which it repeats the value it had for
# the same name on the previous day. A quantity that almost never changes cannot re-order
# the names between one trade and the next, so it cannot drive a strategy that re-ranks
# them weekly, however well it correlates. The two quality flags the feature matrix
# carries are the clearest case - they are there so that a model can be checked for
# leaning on them, and they are the same value on nearly every row.

# ## 2. Does the candidate rank the names the way the outcomes did?
#
# On each trading day, rank the names available by the candidate, rank the same names by
# what their straddles went on to earn, and correlate the two rankings. That correlation
# is the **information coefficient**, or IC. Ranks rather than values, because the
# strategy acts on an ordering - it sells the top of the list - and because a single
# straddle return can be many times the size of a typical one, which would let a handful
# of days set a correlation computed on values.
#
# One day gives one number. Repeating it over every day in the validation periods gives a
# series, and the average of that series is what the rest of the notebook screens on.
#
# Averaging a series is only as informative as the series is independent, and here it is
# not. A straddle sold on Monday and one sold on Tuesday are both alive for almost the
# same month, so they share almost all of the price path that decides them, and
# consecutive days' correlations move together. Treating them as independent draws would
# make the average look far more precisely measured than it is. The correction for this
# is a **heteroskedasticity- and autocorrelation-consistent**, or HAC, standard error: it
# estimates how much consecutive observations move together and widens the error bar
# accordingly. It has to be told how far that dependence reaches, which here is one
# holding period.
#
# Two kinds of candidate cannot have an IC and are separated out rather than scored as
# zero. One is a quantity that takes the same value for every name on a day - it orders
# nothing, though it may still be worth conditioning on in a model. The other is a
# candidate too sparsely observed to leave enough names on enough days.

# ### The series the averages come from
#
# Everything above is an average of a daily series, and two things an average cannot show
# live in the series itself: an association that comes from one stretch of the period
# rather than from all of it, and one that reverses direction inside it. Both change what
# the average means, and neither is visible in it. The series is the object; Section 7
# writes it to `evaluation/ic_timeseries.parquet`.
#
# The left panel is the daily series for the candidate with the largest average, with a
# smoothed line over one holding period, a zero line, and a dotted rule where one
# validation period ends and the next begins.
#
# The right panel puts three error bars on each of the leading candidates. The first
# assumes the daily measurements are independent, which they are not; it is drawn as the
# baseline a reader would get without thinking about the overlap. The second is the HAC
# interval described above. The third resamples the series in contiguous blocks at least
# one holding period long, which keeps the overlap intact in the resampled series instead
# of modelling it, and is the check on whether the second is doing its job.

# ### Did it hold over both periods, or over one?
#
# An average over the whole span can be carried by a single stretch of it. Splitting the
# same daily series by validation period and averaging each separately is the cheapest
# check on that, and it is the one Chapter 7 asks for. This case study is configured with
# two validation periods, so each candidate gets two averages. That is enough to see a
# sign change and not enough to support a quartile view across periods, which is why the
# per-period values are drawn rather than summarised.
#
# Direction agreement records the share of those periods in which the candidate points the
# same way as it does over the window as a whole. A candidate that ranks names inversely -
# low value, high straddle return - is as usable as one that ranks them directly, since a
# ranking is read in whichever direction it works, so what matters is whether the direction
# holds from period to period and not which direction it is. It is one of the two routes to
# promotion in Section 7, and the figure below shows the per-period averages behind it.
#
# The weakest and strongest periods written to the ledger follow the same rule: the weakest
# is the period furthest against the candidate's own direction, which for an inverse
# candidate is its algebraic maximum rather than its minimum.

# ## 3. What the search cost
#
# A p-value is a statement about one test. Test fifty of them at a threshold of one in
# twenty and two or three will cross it with nothing behind them, so a result cannot be
# read without knowing how many questions were asked to get it. That is why the set of
# things tested has to be stated before any of the p-values are read.
#
# **The set searched here** is every candidate that cleared the two screens in Section 1
# and had enough of a cross-section to measure, tested against one label - the
# hold-to-expiry return the case study trades. Section 4 measures two shorter horizons
# and Section 6 a hedged variant, but neither feeds a decision: a candidate is promoted
# or not on the primary label alone, so those measurements do not widen the set. Nothing
# was tested and dropped from the count, and the candidate set was fixed by
# `03_financial_features` and `04_model_based_features` before any of it was measured.
#
# **The Benjamini-Hochberg procedure** adjusts for that. It sorts the p-values, and
# accepts the largest one whose rank-scaled threshold it still clears, along with
# everything below it. What it controls is the *false discovery rate*: of the candidates
# it calls significant, the expected share that are not is at most `FDR_ALPHA`. That is a
# weaker and more useful guarantee than requiring no false positive at all, which on a
# panel this size would leave nothing.
#
# The three counts printed below - candidates that clear a plain threshold, that clear
# the overlap-aware one, and that clear the family-wide one - are nested, and the ratio
# between the first and the others is how much of an apparent finding is an artefact of
# not correcting.

# are the solver-quality flags, which hold the same value on every panel row. 13 of the
# 49 clear a plain threshold, 3 still clear it once the overlap between consecutive
# hold-to-expiry positions is allowed for, and none clears the family-wide adjustment.
# Allowing for the overlap alone removes a factor of 4.33, and the family-wide adjustment
# then removes what is left. The largest average daily rank agreement in the screen is
# 0.0349, on the 21-session return of the underlying, whose adjusted p-value is 0.263.

# The gap between what the two panels support is the point of the section. Some candidates
# still stand out individually once the overlap is allowed for; whether any of them
# clears the bar set by having asked the question of every candidate at once is a
# separate question, and the answer is what the promotion rule in Section 7 acts on.

# %% [markdown]
# ### How far ahead does the agreement reach?
#
# Everything above is measured against one outcome, held for about a month. A quantity
# whose agreement is concentrated at a few days and gone by ten cannot be traded at this
# cadence, and one still reaching a month out could be traded less often and more
# cheaply. Neither is visible from a single horizon, so the same measurement is repeated
# against the two shorter unhedged outcomes `02_labels` also writes - the return over the
# next five and the next ten sessions.
#
# These are diagnostic only. No decision in Section 7 reads them, so measuring them does
# not widen the set of tests the adjustment above has to cover. The traded outcome is
# plotted at the holding period `setup.yaml` declares, which is where a one-month expiry
# falls on average; its own horizon varies by a few sessions from name to name.
#
# The right panel divides each average by the standard deviation of its own daily series.
# That ratio says how large the average is against the variation it was drawn from, which
# is what decides whether a longer horizon is genuinely more reliable or just measured
# over a smoother series. The usual form of this ratio is taken across validation
# periods, which two of them cannot support.
