zhaoli c367e25889 ch11: add EVIDENCE#052 — signal-quality gate works across ALL years (2021-2026)
The signal-quality gate (hit-rate based on topk predictions) is the OPPOSITE
of the regime gate: it improves returns across every year, including bad ones.

Best config (hitrate_5d_0.50):
- 2026: +65.0% (base +25.5%)
- 2025: +72.1% (base +17.8%)
- 2024: +30.4% (base +8.2%)
- 2023: +54.7% (base -4.8%)
- 2021: +55.7% (base +18.4%)

The regime gate asked 'is the market calm?' (wrong question).
The signal-quality gate asks 'are my predictions accurate?' (right question).

zhaoli 8f7ce7bd8e ch11: add EVIDENCE#051 — comprehensive model search confirms regime gate robustness to model selection 2026-08-20 22:38:52 +00:00
zhaoli 718b048df9 Add regime gate walk-forward test (EVIDENCE#050)
- 3 detector types (dispersion/vol/HMM) × 14 configs across 5 years
- Dispersion gates: 0% trip rate everywhere (dead)
- Vol gates: trip differential +32-47pp but destroy returns in good years
- HMM gates: +6pp differential, hmm_0.7 improves 2023/2025 but kills 2026
- Guard candidate regime gate REFUTED (ch 11)
- Script: book/scripts/regime_gate_bt.py
- Results: book/data/regime_gate/regime_gate_trip_rates.csv

zhaoli 63763db38c book: add EVIDENCE#036-041, update claims for Q12-Q18 findings
- EVIDENCE#036: Q12 22d label + weekly rebalance still fails (−4.88%)
- EVIDENCE#037: Q13 weekly rebalance edge is window-dependent (−4.21%)
- EVIDENCE#038: Q15 single-seed worse (clean-lake conf of #016)
- EVIDENCE#039: Q16 HMM features degrade on clean data (−6.06%)
- EVIDENCE#040: Q17 realized-moments improve portfolio (+9.90% IR 0.99)
- EVIDENCE#041: Q18 OptimalStopControl loses to TopkDropout (−6.21%)

Claims updated: H2 OptStop PROVEN, moments claim REFUTED on clean data,
weekly edge window-dependent PROVEN, HMM refuted, seed count updated.
Open questions marked done.
