Thematic-Tilt Index

Install and import

bash
npm install fintech-algorithms
ts
import { calculate } from "fintech-algorithms/index-and-benchmark-engineering/alternative-weighting/thematic-tilt-index";

Signature

calculate(data)

Worked example

verified This is the worked example published in the article, replayed by the test suite on every run. The output cannot drift.

Input

data
{
  "ids": ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E"],
  "parentWeights": [0.3, 0.25, 0.2, 0.15, 0.1],
  "themeScores": [1, 0.6, 0.1, -0.4, -0.8],
  "tilt": 0.5,
  "maxMultiplier": 1.6
}

Call

calculate(data)

Returns

object with 4 fields: ids, multipliers, weights, activeWeights

{
  "ids": ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E"],
  "multipliers": [1.5, 1.3, 1.05, 0.8, 0.6],
  "weights": [0.386266, 0.27897, 0.180258, 0.103004, 0.051502],
  "activeWeights": [0.086266, 0.02897, -0.019742, -0.046996, -0.048498]

How it works

This page states the contract — how to call it correctly. The article explains the concept: why it works, and where it breaks.
