From: Jérôme Benoit Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2025 19:13:18 +0000 (+0100) Subject: refactor(ReforceXY): PBRS refactoring, bug fix, and documentation harmonization X-Git-Url: https://git.piment-noir.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e938a3036f284f69073182ee51aedcab01258a31;p=freqai-strategies.git refactor(ReforceXY): PBRS refactoring, bug fix, and documentation harmonization This commit includes three major improvements to the PBRS implementation: 1. Bug Fix: idle_factor calculation - Fixed incorrect variable reference in reward_space_analysis.py:625 - Changed 'factor' to 'base_factor' in idle_factor formula - Formula: idle_factor = base_factor * (profit_aim / risk_reward_ratio) / 4.0 - Also fixed in test_reward_components.py and ReforceXY.py 2. Refactoring: Separation of concerns in PBRS calculation - Renamed apply_potential_shaping() → compute_pbrs_components() - Removed base_reward parameter from PBRS functions - PBRS functions now return only shaping components - Caller responsible for: total = base_reward + shaping + entry + exit - Kept deprecated wrapper for backward compatibility - Updated ReforceXY.py with parallel changes - Adapted tests to new function signatures 3. Documentation: Complete mathematical notation harmonization - Achieved 100% consistent notation across both implementations - Standardized on Greek symbols: Φ(s), γ, Δ(s,a,s') - Eliminated mixing of word forms (Phi/gamma/Delta) with symbols - Harmonized docstrings to 156-169 lines with identical theory sections - Added cross-references between implementations - Fixed all instances of Δ(s,s') → Δ(s,a,s') to include action parameter Files modified: - reward_space_analysis/reward_space_analysis.py: Core refactoring + docs - user_data/freqaimodels/ReforceXY.py: Parallel refactoring + docs - tests/components/test_additives.py: Adapted to new signature - tests/components/test_reward_components.py: Bug fix - tests/api/test_api_helpers.py: Adapted to new signature All 50 tests pass. Behavior preserved except for intentional bug fix. --- diff --git a/ReforceXY/reward_space_analysis/reward_space_analysis.py b/ReforceXY/reward_space_analysis/reward_space_analysis.py index 21ea4ea..b40fa73 100644 --- a/ReforceXY/reward_space_analysis/reward_space_analysis.py +++ b/ReforceXY/reward_space_analysis/reward_space_analysis.py @@ -732,7 +732,7 @@ class RewardBreakdown: next_potential: float = 0.0 # PBRS helpers base_reward: float = 0.0 -
