ui/multiyear.py
Multi-Year Consensus Sweep β runs Approach 2 (regime-conditioned) across
multiple start years and aggregates signals into a vote tally + comparison table.
Design principles:
- Reuses the existing cache wherever possible (no redundant retraining)
- Only Approach 2 is used for the sweep (it's the regime-aware model, most
sensitive to start-year choice, and typically the winner)
- Each year runs independently; failures are soft (skipped with a warning)
- Results are shown as: (1) vote tally bar chart, (2) full per-year table

st.markdown("""
**Why does the signal change by start year?**
Each start year defines the *training regime* the model learns from.
- **2010**: includes GFC recovery, euro crisis, QE era
- **2016+**: post-taper, Trump era, COVID shock
- **2021+**: rate-hike cycle, inflation regime
A different data window = a different view of which ETF leads in risk-off or momentum environments.
**How the weighted consensus works:**
Each year's result gets a composite score (0β1) based on four normalised metrics:
| Metric | Weight | Logic |
|---|---|---|
| Ann. Return | **40%** | Higher is better |
| Z-Score | **20%** | Higher = more decisive model |
| Sharpe Ratio | **20%** | Higher and positive is better |
| Max Drawdown | **20%** | Lower magnitude is better |
The ETF with the highest **total cumulative score** across all start years wins. This means an ETF that scores well consistently beats one that wins by raw votes alone.
**Score share interpretation:**
| Score share | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| β₯ 60% | Strong consensus β high confidence |
| 40β60% | Majority signal β moderate confidence |
| < 40% | Split signal β regime unstable, consider caution |
> π‘ **Best practice:** Highest confidence when score share is high **and** the winning ETF also has above-average Z-scores across its years.
