# ============================================================ # Latent Micro-Regimes in Limit Order Books: # Identification and Early Detection — v6 # ───────────────────────────────────────── # KEY UPGRADE: Trigger-Based Early Detection # # Core detection failure in v5: weighted averaging smooths and # delays the signal — it reacts AFTER build-up is visible, not # at the ONSET of instability. # # v6 Fix: Replace averaging with MAX-trigger + rising-edge: # # 1. MAX-trigger fusion: # S_t = max(channel_1, ..., channel_5) # → captures the EARLIEST strong signal from ANY source # → no smoothing penalty from weak channels # # 2. Early-signal amplification: # S_t *= (1 + gamma * [drift_rising]) # → weak but early spread-drift signals get boosted # # 3. Rising-edge detection: # τ = { t : S_t > threshold AND dS_t > 0 } # → detects ONSET of instability, not steady-state elevation # → fires at the moment the signal starts climbing # # 4. Early-detection constraint: # discard τ if nearest σ is within MIN_LEAD steps # → forces focus on true predictive signals, not late fires # # 5. Deduplication with min-gap (unchanged) # # All channels are still causal (trailing windows only). # Data generation, evaluation, and baselines are UNCHANGED. # ============================================================ # !pip install hmmlearn scikit-learn scipy numpy pandas matplotlib import warnings warnings.filterwarnings("ignore") import numpy as np import pandas as pd import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from scipy import stats from scipy.stats import gaussian_kde from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler from hmmlearn.hmm import GaussianHMM # ───────────────────────────────────────── # 0.
