FTB-C000632 / Implementation concept

Deterministic Trendline Tie-Break

Deterministic Trendline Tie-Break is the fixed ordering used when multiple line hypotheses have comparable consensus.

Advanced 1 linked topicEvidence-reviewed

Definitions

In plain terms

The same pivot set should produce the same winner on every run.

Technical

After inlier count, compare median absolute residual, absolute log slope, and pair order; do not use random sampling.

Scope

Unspecified tie behavior makes cross-language outputs irreproducible.

Examples

  • A reviewer computes Deterministic Trendline Tie-Break on a small deterministic fixture and checks timing, units, and boundary behavior before publication.

Common misconceptions

  • Unspecified tie behavior makes cross-language outputs irreproducible.

Evidence and governance

  1. sklearn.linear_model.RANSACRegressor scikit-learn · first party technical publication

    Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition, variant distinction

    Limits: This package enumerates every two-point hypothesis for small pivot sets instead of using random sampling.

  2. Linear Least Squares Regression NIST/SEMATECH · official standard

    Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition, variant distinction

    Limits: A fitted line remains descriptive and is not evidence of a future price path.

  3. numpy.log NumPy · first party technical publication

    Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition, variant distinction

    Limits: A log transform requires positive finite prices and does not by itself define a financial level.

  4. numpy.polyfit NumPy · first party technical publication

    Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition, variant distinction

    Limits: The glossary freezes its own log-space OLS contract, diagnostics, and tie rules.
