Wave 8.16: Complete 4-Model Ensemble Integration Testing

Status: ✅ COMPLETE (9/9 tests passing) Date: 2025-10-15 Models Validated: DQN, PPO, MAMBA-2, TFT Test File: /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/ml/tests/ensemble_4_model_trainable_integration.rs

---

🎯 Objective

Validate that all 4 trainable models (DQN, PPO, MAMBA-2, TFT) work together seamlessly in the ensemble coordinator. Unlike existing mock-based tests, these tests instantiate REAL trainable adapters to ensure production readiness.

🔬 Test Scenarios

Scenario 1: Unanimous Agreement

Setup: All 4 models predict Buy with strong signals (0.78-0.85)

Expected Behavior:

• Action: Buy
• Signal: >0.7 (strong bullish)
• Disagreement: <10% (high consensus)
• Confidence: High

Result: ✅ PASS

---

Scenario 2: Majority Vote

Setup: 3 models Buy (0.7, 0.6, 0.65), 1 model Sell (-0.5)

Expected Behavior:

• Action: Buy
• Signal: >0.3 (moderate bullish)
• Disagreement: 20-40% (one dissenter)
• Confidence: Medium

Result: ✅ PASS

---

Scenario 3: High Disagreement

Setup: 2 models Buy (0.6, 0.65), 2 models Sell (-0.7, -0.6)

Expected Behavior:

• Action: Hold (50/50 split)
• Signal: ~0.0 (balanced)
• Disagreement: ≥45% (high conflict)
• Confidence: Low

Result: ✅ PASS

---

Scenario 4: Model Failure

Setup: 3 models operational (DQN, PPO, TFT), MAMBA-2 failed

Expected Behavior:

• Ensemble continues with 3 models
• Action: Buy (3 models agree)
• Signal: >0.3
• Disagreement: <20% (consensus among remaining)

Result: ✅ PASS

🎓 Key Learnings

Model Loading

1. WorkingDQNConfig requires emergency_safe_defaults() (no Default trait)
2. Mamba2Config uses expand field (not d_inner) - computed as d_model * expand
3. TFT requires specific input dimensions: static + (seq_len * unknown) + (horizon * known)

Ensemble Behavior

1. Disagreement Calculation: Counts models with opposite sign from mean signal
2. Weighted Voting: Uses confidence-weighted averaging
3. Graceful Degradation: Ensemble functions with 3/4 models (75% availability)

Testing Patterns

1. Real Models vs Mocks: Integration tests use real trainable adapters
2. Single-Threaded: --test-threads=1 for GPU safety
3. Release Mode: --release for performance validation

📝 Technical Notes

Disagreement Rate Calculation

fn calculate_disagreement_rate(predictions: &[ModelPrediction]) -> f64 {
    let mean_signal = predictions.iter().map(|p| p.value).sum::<f64>() / predictions.len() as f64;
    let disagreements = predictions.iter()
        .filter(|p| (p.value * mean_signal) < 0.0) // Opposite signs
        .count();
    disagreements as f64 / predictions.len() as f64
}

TFT Input Dimension Calculation

let total_tft_dim = tft_config.num_static_features +
                     (tft_config.sequence_length * tft_config.num_unknown_features) +
                     (tft_config.prediction_horizon * tft_config.num_known_features);
// Example: 10 + (20 * 196) + (5 * 50) = 10 + 3920 + 250 = 4180
