* Refactor alpha statistics
- Refactor alpha statistics, cleaning up and simplifying no longer required calculations and scoring
- Adding new InsightEvaluator abstraction, adding C# & PY regression
algorithms
* Optimization backtest result json converter update
* Address reviews
- Remove IAlphaHandler, move insight storage responsability to IResultHandler
and centralizing insight collection on the QCAlgorithm.Insights to be
reused by the framework models
- Fix portfolio turnover single day backtests and duplicate time
sampling handling. Updating regression algorithms
* Add InsightCollection tests and minor fixes
* Adding more & improved tests
- Adding `SecurityCacheProvider` this class allows for two different
`Security` to share the same data type cache through different instance
of `SecurityCache`. This is used to directly access custom data types
through their underlying in a peformant maner
- Some small improvements
- Using `Aggregate(lambda)` vs `Sum(lambda)` since the later is slower
due to performing an extra `Select`
- For `QCAlgorithm.Framework.OnFrameworkData()` will avoid calling
`ToArray()` on empty `Enumerables` due to its cost * the number of
calls. If the `Enumerable` is the empty instance, which is static,
will create a new empty array and return it instead.
- Replacing `SecurityIdentifier` `SecurityType` and `GetHashCode`
implementations for `Lazy` versions, that are performed just once, since
these values do not change and are used multiple times.
- For the different `DataDictionary<T>` implementations adding `this[
Symbol] get; set` since existing overload `this [string]` produces an
extra round operations `Symbol->string->Symbol` with a significant
impact.
- Adding `PortfolioTargetCollection.AddRange()` overload using an array
to avoid unnecessary convertions.
This type is just used as a container for generatd insights. Renaming in
preparation for a new InsightCollection to mirror the PortfolioTargetCollection
The term 'alpha' is used to describe the entire algorithm. Therefore, 'alpha'
produces insights. From this we have things like IAlphaModel, which is the model
defining how insights are produced. We have IAlphaHandler, which defines how the
insights from a single 'alpha' (the algorithm) are managed, analyzed, and stored.
Types closer to the individual prediction level, such as InsightDirection, or
InsightScore relate directly to exactly 1 insight. The distinction between the
two became more clear as we developed the insights API, and from that effort it
was decided to harmonize alpha/insight terminology across the various QC systems.
