Validates a factor's predictive power using standard quant metrics.
For each forward horizon (1d, 3d, 5d, 7d, 14d), computes:
- IC (Spearman rank correlation)
- ICIR (IC stability)
- Hit Ratio (direction accuracy)
- Quantile spread (top vs bottom bucket)
- Lead-lag profile
A factor is valid if IC > 0.03 and ICIR > 0.5.
For regime factors, also check regime_validator.
