LinearRegression

Incremental, causal technical analysis documentation

Summary

LinearRegression is RTTA's streaming implementation of: Rolling least-squares fitted value.

Update API

result = rtta.LinearRegression().update(value)

The update(...) call consumes one observation using value. advance(...) uses the same inputs when the caller wants to update state without materializing a Python return value.

Theory Of Operation

LinearRegression keeps rolling sufficient statistics for the requested statistical quantity. Each update inserts the newest sample, removes any expired sample, and recomputes the current statistic from those maintained sums.

Recurrence

Let \(z_t = value_t\) denote the observation consumed by one update(...) call and let \(\theta\) denote constructor parameters such as window lengths, thresholds, and smoothing constants.

\[\hat{\beta}_t=(X_t^\top X_t)^{-1}X_t^\top y_t\]
\[\hat{y}_t = [1,t]\hat{\beta}_t\]

update(...) returns a result struct with fields value, slope, intercept, angle, tsf.

Implementation Notes

The recurrence is implemented in src/rtta/indicator.cpp in class LinearRegression.
