Add Savitzky-Golay Moving Average (SGMA) Indicator Implementation

- Implemented SgmaIndicator class in C# with properties for Period, Degree, and Source.
- Added unit tests for SgmaIndicator covering constructor defaults, initialization, and various update scenarios.
- Created a new Quantower adapter for the SGMA indicator, including input parameters and line series setup.
- Removed legacy SGMA implementation and tests to streamline the codebase.
- Updated project files to include new indicator and tests in the build process.
- Generated a missing indicators report and outlined a plan for oscillator documentation rewrite.

# ENTROPY: Shannon Entropy
> "Information is the resolution of uncertainty." — Claude Shannon
Shannon Entropy measures the unpredictability or randomness of a time series over a sliding window. A low entropy value indicates the series is highly predictable (clustered values), while a high entropy value indicates the data is spread uniformly across its range — maximum randomness.
## Historical Context
Claude Shannon introduced the concept of information entropy in his landmark 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication." Originally applied to communication channels, entropy has since become fundamental in information theory, statistical mechanics, and quantitative finance. In trading, entropy helps identify market regimes — low entropy suggests trending/consolidated behavior, high entropy suggests random/choppy conditions.
## Architecture & Physics
`Entropy` extends `AbstractBase` for single-value input streaming. It uses a `RingBuffer` to maintain the sliding window and rebuilds a histogram from the buffer contents on each update.
### Design Decisions
- **O(period) per update**: Unlike indicators that can use O(1) running sums, entropy requires min/max tracking and histogram construction that must be rebuilt when the window composition changes. This is inherent to the algorithm — bin boundaries shift with the range.
- **Bin count**: `bins = min(max(count, 2), 100)` — matches the PineScript reference. During warmup, bins scale with available data; once warmed up with period ≥ 100, always 100 bins.
- **NaN/Infinity guard**: Non-finite values are replaced with the last valid value.
- **No SIMD**: Histogram construction involves branching and random-access bin updates that don't vectorize well.
- **stackalloc**: Frequency arrays use stack allocation (100 ints = 400 bytes) to avoid heap pressure.
## Mathematical Foundation
Values in the sliding window are normalized to [0, 1] based on the window's min/max range, then bucketed into a histogram.
Shannon entropy is computed from the bin frequencies:
$$ H = -\sum_{i=1}^{B} p_i \ln(p_i) $$
where $p_i = \frac{f_i}{N}$ is the probability of bin $i$, $f_i$ is the bin count, $N$ is total observations, and $B$ is the number of bins.
The result is normalized by the maximum possible entropy:
$$ H_{\text{norm}} = \frac{H}{\ln(B)} $$
Output is in [0, 1] where:
- **0** = perfectly predictable (all values identical, zero variance)
- **1** = maximum randomness (uniform distribution across all bins)
## Performance Profile
| Metric | Score | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Throughput** | ~50ns/bar | Histogram rebuild each update. |
| **Allocations** | 0 | stackalloc for frequency array. |
| **Complexity** | O(period) | Linear scan for min/max and histogram. |
| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Exact histogram-based computation. |
## Validation
Self-validated against mathematical properties. No external library provides an equivalent histogram-based windowed Shannon entropy for direct comparison.
| Property | Status | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Constant series** | ✅ | Returns exactly 0. |
| **Two distinct values** | ✅ | Returns 1.0 with period=2. |
| **Range [0, 1]** | ✅ | All outputs within bounds. |
| **Batch = Streaming** | ✅ | Exact match across all modes. |
## Usage
```csharp
using QuanTAlib;
// Create a 14-period Shannon Entropy
var entropy = new Entropy(14);
// Update with a new value
var result = entropy.Update(new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, 100.0));
// Get the last value (normalized 0-1)
double value = entropy.Last.Value;
// Batch mode
var series = Entropy.Batch(source, period: 14);
// Span mode
Entropy.Batch(inputSpan, outputSpan, period: 14);

# GEOMEAN: Geometric Mean
> "The geometric mean is never greater than the arithmetic mean." - Mathematical inequality since antiquity
The Geometric Mean computes the nth root of the product of n positive values over a sliding window. Unlike the arithmetic mean, it captures multiplicative relationships and is the correct average for growth rates, ratios, and log-normally distributed data. For financial time series, this means it properly accounts for compounding.
## Historical Context
The geometric mean dates to Euclid's Elements (ca. 300 BCE), where it appeared as the "mean proportional" between two lengths. The concept was well-understood in ancient Greek geometry but found its modern statistical footing in the 19th century. In finance, the geometric mean return became the standard for reporting compounded investment performance after the realization that arithmetic means systematically overstate expected returns for volatile assets. A portfolio returning +50% then -50% has an arithmetic mean of 0% but a geometric mean of approximately -13.4%, which is the actual result. The arithmetic mean lied; the geometric mean told the truth.
## Architecture & Physics
`Geomean` extends `AbstractBase` for single-value input streaming. Instead of computing the nth root of a product directly (which overflows or underflows for even modest windows), it maintains a running sum of logarithms using Kahan-Babuska compensated summation.
### Design Decisions
1. **Log-sum approach**: Converts the product $\prod x_i$ into $\sum \ln(x_i)$, then exponentiates. This avoids catastrophic overflow/underflow that plagues direct multiplication for windows larger than approximately 20 values.
2. **O(1) streaming updates**: Uses a `RingBuffer` to track which log-values are in the window. When a new value enters, its log is added; when an old value exits, its log is subtracted. The Kahan-Babuska compensation preserves numerical accuracy across millions of updates.
3. **Periodic resync**: Every 1000 ticks, the running sum is recomputed from scratch to bound floating-point drift. Without this, sequential add/subtract cycles accumulate error proportional to the number of updates.
4. **Non-positive value handling**: Values <= 0 have undefined logarithms. The indicator substitutes the last valid positive value, matching the PineScript reference behavior. This is conservative but safe.
5. **No SIMD in Update**: The streaming path is inherently sequential (running compensated sum with state). SIMD is used in the static `Batch(Span)` method where applicable.
## Mathematical Foundation
For $n$ positive values $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n$, the geometric mean is:
$$ G = \left(\prod_{i=1}^{n} x_i\right)^{1/n} $$
Equivalently, using logarithms:
$$ G = \exp\!\left(\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \ln(x_i)\right) $$
The key identity exploited by the implementation:
$$ \ln(G) = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \ln(x_i) $$
### AM-GM Inequality
For positive real numbers, the geometric mean is always less than or equal to the arithmetic mean:
$$ G \leq A = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i $$
Equality holds if and only if all values are identical. This property is validated in the test suite.
### Kahan-Babuska Compensation
The running log-sum uses second-order compensation:
$$
\begin{aligned}
y &= \ln(x_{\text{new}}) - c \\
t &= S + y \\
c &= (t - S) - y \\
S &= t
\end{aligned}
$$
This bounds the accumulated error to $O(\varepsilon)$ rather than $O(n\varepsilon)$ for naive summation, where $\varepsilon$ is machine epsilon.
## Performance Profile
| Metric | Score | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Throughput** | ~5ns/bar | O(1) log-add/subtract per update. |
| **Allocations** | 0 | RingBuffer pre-allocated; no heap allocation in Update. |
| **Complexity** | O(1) streaming | Amortized O(1) with periodic O(period) resync every 1000 ticks. |
| **Accuracy** | 9/10 | Kahan-Babuska compensation + periodic resync. |
## Validation
Self-validated against mathematical properties and known analytical values. MathNet.Numerics `Statistics.GeometricMean` provides external cross-validation.
| Property | Status | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Known values** | ✅ | geomean({2, 8}) = 4.0; geomean({1, 2, 4, 8}) = 2√2 ≈ 2.8284. |
| **Constant series** | ✅ | Returns the constant value exactly. |
| **AM-GM inequality** | ✅ | G ≤ A for all test inputs. |
| **Positive output** | ✅ | Always positive for positive inputs. |
| **Batch = Streaming** | ✅ | Exact match across all modes. |
| **MathNet cross-validation** | ✅ | Matches `Statistics.GeometricMean` within 1e-9. |
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Zero or negative values**: The geometric mean is undefined for non-positive values. The indicator substitutes the last valid value, but this is a lossy approximation. Filter your data first if zeros are meaningful.
2. **Overflow with direct multiplication**: Never compute $\prod x_i$ directly for large windows. Even double-precision overflows around $n \approx 20$ for values > 100. The log-sum approach eliminates this entirely.
3. **Confusing with arithmetic mean**: The geometric mean is always smaller (or equal) for positive values. Using the arithmetic mean for compounding returns overstates expected performance.
4. **Small windows**: With period=2, the geometric mean reduces to $\sqrt{x_1 \cdot x_2}$. Mathematically correct but noisy.
5. **Log-normal assumption**: The geometric mean is the natural center for log-normally distributed data (returns). For normally distributed data, the arithmetic mean is more appropriate.
## Usage
```csharp
using QuanTAlib;
// Create a 14-period Geometric Mean
var geomean = new Geomean(14);
// Update with a new value
var result = geomean.Update(new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, 100.0));
// Get the last computed geometric mean
double value = geomean.Last.Value;
// Batch mode
var series = Geomean.Batch(source, period: 14);
// Span mode
Geomean.Batch(inputSpan, outputSpan, period: 14);
```

# GRANGER: Granger Causality F-Statistic
> "Correlation is not causation, but Granger causality is not causation either. It is prediction." -- Clive Granger
## Introduction
The Granger Causality test asks a precise, falsifiable question: does knowing the history of series X improve your ability to predict series Y, beyond what Y's own history already provides? The answer arrives as an F-statistic from comparing two OLS regression models. Higher F means X contains predictive information about Y that Y itself does not. This implementation uses lag-1, runs in O(1) streaming mode via running sums, and handles bar corrections for live trading.
## Historical Context
Clive Granger introduced this test in 1969, later refined in Granger (1980). The key insight: "causality" here means temporal predictive precedence, not physical causation. The test became a workhorse in econometrics for testing lead-lag relationships between economic variables, exchange rates, and commodity prices. In trading, it identifies which instruments lead others, informing pairs trading, cross-asset signals, and regime detection.
Standard implementations require batch matrix operations. This implementation maintains running statistics for O(1) per-bar updates, matching the batch result exactly while supporting streaming and bar correction.
## Architecture and Physics
### 1. Dual-Input Streaming Design
The indicator takes two series: Y (dependent, the series you want to predict) and X (independent, the hypothesized cause). At each bar, it maintains three parallel ring buffers storing the lagged triplet (y_t, y_{t-1}, x_{t-1}) over a rolling window of size `period`.
### 2. Running Sum Statistics
Nine running sums track means, variances, and cross-covariances:
- `sumY`, `sumYLag`, `sumXLag` for means
- `sumYY`, `sumYLagYLag`, `sumXLagXLag` for variances
- `sumYYLag`, `sumYXLag`, `sumYLagXLag` for covariances
These enable O(1) updates: subtract the oldest triplet, add the newest. Periodic resync every 1000 bars corrects floating-point drift.
### 3. Bar Correction via isNew
When `isNew=false`, the indicator restores the previous state snapshot and replaces the newest triplet in all buffers and running sums. This handles tick updates within the same bar without re-processing the entire window.
## Mathematical Foundation
### Restricted Model (AR(1))
$$y_t = c_0 + c_1 \cdot y_{t-1} + \varepsilon_{1,t}$$
OLS coefficients:
$$c_1 = \frac{\text{Cov}(y_t, y_{t-1})}{\text{Var}(y_{t-1})}$$
$$c_0 = \bar{y} - c_1 \cdot \bar{y}_{t-1}$$
### Unrestricted Model (AR(1) + X lag)
$$y_t = d_0 + d_1 \cdot y_{t-1} + d_2 \cdot x_{t-1} + \varepsilon_{2,t}$$
Two-variable OLS via Cramer's rule:
$$D = \text{Var}(y_{t-1}) \cdot \text{Var}(x_{t-1}) - \text{Cov}(y_{t-1}, x_{t-1})^2$$
$$d_1 = \frac{\text{Cov}(y_t, y_{t-1}) \cdot \text{Var}(x_{t-1}) - \text{Cov}(y_t, x_{t-1}) \cdot \text{Cov}(y_{t-1}, x_{t-1})}{D}$$
$$d_2 = \frac{\text{Cov}(y_t, x_{t-1}) \cdot \text{Var}(y_{t-1}) - \text{Cov}(y_t, y_{t-1}) \cdot \text{Cov}(y_{t-1}, x_{t-1})}{D}$$
### F-Statistic
$$SSR_1 = \left(\text{Var}(y_t) - c_1^2 \cdot \text{Var}(y_{t-1})\right) \cdot N$$
$$SSR_2 = \sum_{i=1}^{N} \left(y_i - d_0 - d_1 \cdot y_{i-1,\text{lag}} - d_2 \cdot x_{i-1,\text{lag}}\right)^2$$
$$F = \frac{(SSR_1 - SSR_2) / q}{SSR_2 / (N - k)}$$
where $q = 1$ (one restriction: $d_2 = 0$) and $k = 3$ (unrestricted model parameters). The F-statistic follows an $F(1, N-3)$ distribution under the null hypothesis that X does not Granger-cause Y.

## Validation
This indicator validates against statistical properties rather than external TA libraries, as Granger causality is not commonly found in standard TA packages.
| Test | Description | Result |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Causal relationship | Y = f(Y_lag, X_lag) + noise | F > 0, high |
| Independent series | Two independent GBMs | F finite, generally low |
| Asymmetric detection | X causes Y but Y does not cause X | F(Y,X) > F(X,Y) |
| Batch vs streaming | TSeries batch matches streaming | Exact match |
| Span vs streaming | Span API matches streaming | Exact match |
| Bar correction | isNew=false restores state | Values match |
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Not true causation.** Granger causality tests temporal precedence in prediction, not physical causation. A spurious correlation with a lagged third variable can produce high F.
2. **Period too small.** Period must exceed 3 for the F-statistic to have positive degrees of freedom. Small periods amplify noise. Use 20+ for meaningful results.
3. **Constant or near-constant series.** Zero variance in the lag produces NaN (division by zero in OLS). This is mathematically correct behavior.
4. **Multicollinearity.** If y_lag and x_lag are nearly perfectly correlated, the denominator D approaches zero, producing NaN. This indicates the two predictors carry redundant information.
5. **Confusing direction.** F(Y,X) tests whether X helps predict Y. F(X,Y) tests the reverse. Always verify which direction matters for your trading thesis.
6. **Critical values depend on sample size.** For F(1, N-3): at 5% significance, critical value is approximately 4.0 for N=20, declining toward 3.84 for large N.
7. **Floating-point drift.** Running sums accumulate rounding errors over thousands of bars. The built-in resync every 1000 bars limits this to negligible levels.
