BasanosEngine¶
The main portfolio optimisation engine. Accepts a price history and a signal matrix and exposes positions, diagnostics, and performance metrics as read-only properties.

Bases: _CoreDataMixin, _DiagnosticsMixin, _PerformanceMixin, _SignalEvaluatorMixin, _SolveMixin
Engine to compute correlation matrices and optimize risk positions.
Encapsulates price data and configuration to build EWM-based correlations, apply shrinkage, and solve for normalized positions.
Public methods are organised into clearly delimited sections (some inherited from the private mixin classes):
- Core data access —
assets,ret_adj,vola,cor,cor_tensor - Solve / position logic —
cash_position,position_status,risk_position,position_leverage,warmup_state - Portfolio and performance —
portfolio,naive_sharpe,sharpe_at_shrink,sharpe_at_window_factors - Matrix diagnostics —
condition_number,effective_rank,solver_residual,signal_utilisation - Signal evaluation —

cash_position
property
¶
Optimize correlation-aware risk positions for each timestamp.
Supports two covariance modes controlled by cfg.covariance_config:
-
EwmaShrinkConfig(default): Computes EWMA correlations, applies linear shrinkage toward the identity, and solves a normalised linear system \(C\,x = \mu\) per timestamp via Cholesky / LU. -
SlidingWindowConfig: At each timestamp uses thecfg.covariance_config.windowmost recent vol-adjusted returns to fit a rank-cfg.covariance_config.n_factorsfactor model via truncated SVD and solves the system via the Woodbury identity at \(O(k^3 + kn)\) rather than \(O(n^3)\) per step.
Non-finite or ill-posed cases yield zero positions for safety.
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
DataFrame
|
pl.DataFrame: DataFrame with columns ['date'] + asset names containing |
DataFrame
|
the per-timestamp cash positions (risk divided by EWMA volatility). |
Performance
For ewma_shrink: dominant cost is self.cor (O(T·N²) time,
O(T·N²) memory). The per-timestamp
linear solve adds O(N³) per row.
For sliding_window: O(T·W·N·k) for sliding SVDs plus
O(T·(k³ + kN)) for Woodbury solves. Memory is O(W·N) per step,
independent of T.
config_report
property
¶
Return a ConfigReport facade for this engine.
Returns a ConfigReport that
includes the full lambda-sweep chart — an interactive plot of the
annualised Sharpe ratio as shrink (λ) is swept
across [0, 1] — in addition to the parameter table, shrinkage-guidance
table, and theory section available from
report.

>>> rng = np.random.default_rng(0)
>>> prices = pl.DataFrame({"date": dates, "A": rng.lognormal(size=200), "B": rng.lognormal(size=200)})
>>> mu = pl.DataFrame({"date": dates, "A": rng.normal(size=200), "B": rng.normal(size=200)})
>>> cfg = BasanosConfig(vola=10, corr=20, clip=3.0, shrink=0.5, aum=1e6)

True
portfolio
property
¶
Construct a Portfolio from the optimized cash positions.
Converts the computed cash positions into a Portfolio using the
configured AUM. The cost_per_unit from cfg is forwarded
so that net_cost_nav and
position_delta_costs work out
of the box without any further configuration.
Returns:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Portfolio |

position_leverage
property
¶
L1 norm of cash positions (gross leverage) at each timestamp.
Sums the absolute values of all asset cash positions at each row. NaN positions are treated as zero (they contribute nothing to gross leverage).
Returns:

|---|---|

|

position_status
property
¶
Per-timestamp reason code explaining each cash_position row.
Labels every row with exactly one of four SolveStatus
codes (which compare equal to their string equivalents):
'warmup': Insufficient history for the sliding-window covariance mode (i + 1 < cfg.covariance_config.window). Positions areNaNfor all assets at this timestamp.'zero_signal': The expected-return vectormuwas all-zeros (or all-NaN) at this timestamp; the optimizer short-circuited and returned zero positions without solving.'degenerate': The normalisation denominator was non-finite or belowcfg.denom_tol, the Cholesky / Woodbury solve failed, or no asset had a finite price; positions were zeroed for safety.'valid': The linear system was solved successfully and positions are non-trivially non-zero.
The codes map one-to-one onto the three NaN / zero cases
described in the issue and allow downstream consumers (backtests,
risk monitors) to distinguish data gaps from signal silence from
numerical ill-conditioning without re-inspecting mu or the
engine configuration.
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|

risk_position
property
¶
Risk positions (before EWMA-volatility scaling) at each timestamp.
Derives the un-volatility-scaled position by multiplying the cash
position by the per-asset EWMA volatility. Equivalently, this is
the quantity solved by the correlation-adjusted linear system before
dividing by vola.
Relationship to other properties::
cash_position = risk_position / vola
risk_position = cash_position * vola
