## CUSUM Feature Specification (Indices 201-210)

The test suite validates extraction of 10 regime detection features:

| 202 | S- Normalized | Negative CUSUM sum / threshold | [0.0, 1.5] |
| 203 | Break Frequency | Structural breaks per 20-bar window | [0.0, 1.0] |
| 204 | Positive Break Count | Count of upward regime shifts | [0, 20] |
| 205 | Negative Break Count | Count of downward regime shifts | [0, 20] |
| 206 | Average Break Intensity | Mean magnitude of detected breaks | [0.0, ∞) |
| 207 | Time Since Last Break | Bars since last detection, normalized | [0.0, 1.0] |
| 208 | Drift Ratio | S+ / (S+ + S- + ε) | [0.0, 1.0] |
| 209 | CUSUM Volatility | Std dev of S+ over 20 bars | [0.0, ∞) |
| 210 | Detection Proximity | min(S+, S-) / threshold | [0.0, 1.0] |

## Test Coverage Breakdown

### Category 1: Initialization Tests (5 tests)

1. **test_cusum_features_new_constructor**
   Validates all 10 features initialize to correct default values (mostly 0.0, drift ratio = 0.5).

3. **test_cusum_features_default_values_within_bounds**
   Verifies all features start within valid ranges immediately after construction.

4. **test_cusum_features_parameter_validation**
   Tests edge cases: zero/negative standard deviation, verifies no panics/NaN/Inf.

5. **test_cusum_features_reset_behavior**
   Confirms reset() clears all state correctly (S+, S-, counts, frequency).

---

### Category 2: Normalization Tests (5 tests)

## Helper Struct Design (Implementation Guide)

The test file includes a reference implementation outline for `RegimeCUSUMFeatures`:

```rust
struct RegimeCUSUMFeatures {
    detector: CUSUMDetector,                    // Reuse from ml::regime::cusum
    break_history: VecDeque<(bool, String, f64)>, // (detected, direction, magnitude)
    s_plus_history: VecDeque<f64>,              // For volatility calculation
    window_size: usize,                         // 20 bars
    bars_since_last_break: usize,
    threshold: f64,
}

// API:
impl RegimeCUSUMFeatures {
    fn new(mean, std, drift, threshold) -> Self;
    fn update(value) -> [f64; 10];              // Returns all 10 features
    fn current_features() -> [f64; 10];         // Query without update
    fn reset();                                  // Clear state
    fn compute_features(s_plus, s_minus) -> [f64; 10]; // Core calculation
}
```

---

## Edge Cases Covered

1. **Zero/negative standard deviation**: Clamped to 1e-10, no division by zero
2. **Extreme input values**: Values like 10.0 with threshold 3.0 → clamping at 1.5x
3. **Empty windows**: Frequency/counts correctly return 0.0
4. **Rapid alternating breaks**: Total count capped at window size (20)
5. **Zero volatility**: No NaN/Inf with constant input values
6. **Small thresholds**: Normalization works with h = 1.0
7. **Partial window fill**: Frequency calculated with < 20 bars available

---

## Integration Notes

### Next Steps for Agent D13

1. **Implement `ml/src/features/regime_cusum_features.rs`**:
   - Create the `RegimeCUSUMFeatures` struct
   - Implement 10-feature extraction logic
   - Reuse `ml::regime::cusum::CUSUMDetector`

2. **Run Test Suite**:
   ```bash
   cargo test -p ml --test regime_cusum_features_test
   ```

3. **Expected Initial Result**: 0/30 tests pass (implementation not yet written)

4. **Iterative TDD**:
   - Implement features one category at a time
   - Run tests after each category
   - Target: 30/30 tests passing

### Integration with Wave D Feature Extraction Pipeline

Once implementation is complete, integrate into:

- **File**: `ml/src/features/config.rs`
- **Function**: `FeatureConfig::generate_regime_features()`
- **Indices**: 201-210 (10 features)

```rust
// Add to FeatureConfig
let cusum_features = RegimeCUSUMFeatures::new(mean, std, 0.5, 5.0);
for price in price_stream {
    let features = cusum_features.update(price); // [f64; 10]
    // Append features[0..10] to full_feature_vector[201..211]
}
```

## Performance Targets

Based on Wave D requirements:

| Metric | Target | Expected |
|---|---|---|
| Feature Extraction Latency | <50μs | ~10μs (CUSUM is O(1)) |
| Memory per Symbol | <1KB | ~500 bytes (20-bar window) |
| False Positive Rate | <5% | <3% (h=5.0 threshold) |
| Detection Delay | <10 bars | 5-7 bars (2σ shift) |

## Test Pattern Examples

### Initialization Test Pattern
```rust
#[test]
fn test_cusum_features_new_constructor() {
    let features = RegimeCUSUMFeatures::new(0.0, 1.0, 0.5, 5.0);
    let result = features.current_features();

    assert_eq!(result.len(), 10);
    assert_eq!(result[0], 0.0); // S+ at init
    assert_eq!(result[7], 0.5); // Drift ratio neutral
}
```

### Edge Case Test Pattern
```rust
#[test]
fn test_cusum_clamp_at_1_5x_threshold() {
    let mut features = RegimeCUSUMFeatures::new(0.0, 1.0, 0.5, 5.0);

    for _ in 0..20 {
        let result = features.update(5.0); // Extreme value
        assert!(result[0] <= 1.5, "S+ should clamp at 1.5");
    }
}
```

### Break Detection Test Pattern
```rust
#[test]
fn test_cusum_single_break_detection() {
    let mut features = RegimeCUSUMFeatures::new(0.0, 1.0, 0.5, 5.0);

    for _ in 0..10 {
        features.update(3.0); // z=3.0, net=2.5/bar → break at ~2 bars
    }

    let result = features.current_features();
    assert!(result[2] > 0.0, "Break frequency should increase");
}
```

The next step is implementing `ml/src/features/regime_cusum_features.rs` to make these tests pass, following the TDD red-green-refactor cycle.

**Estimated Implementation Time**: 2-3 hours
**Estimated Test Pass Rate After Implementation**: 30/30 (100%)
**Validation Method**: `cargo test -p ml --test regime_cusum_features_test`
