factor-score 0.2.0

Quantitative factor scoring for equities and ETFs

factor-score

Quantitative factor scoring for equities and ETFs.

from factor_score import FactorEngine

engine = FactorEngine()
scores = engine.score(["DIS", "NVDA", "MSFT", "META"])
for s in scores:
    print(f"{s.ticker:6}  composite={s.composite_score:.2f}  rank=#{s.composite_rank}")

Install

pip install factor-score           # core (bring your own data)
pip install 'factor-score[yfinance]'  # with built-in yfinance provider

Design

• Input-agnostic: implement the two-method DataProvider protocol to plug in any data source (yfinance, Polygon, IBKR, CSV).
• Code-driven config: use FactorConfig to override weights and lookback periods — no YAML required.
• Normalized scores: composite scores are 0–1 within the scored universe; raw factor values are always returned alongside.

Factors

Factor	Weight	Description
Vol-adjusted momentum	35%	90d return / annualized vol — rewards smooth trends
Momentum (90d)	25%	Trailing 90-day return
Momentum (180d)	25%	Trailing 180-day return
Relative value	15%	Proximity to 52-week low (mean-reversion tilt)

Custom config

from factor_score import FactorEngine, FactorConfig

config = FactorConfig(
    weight_vol_adj_momentum=0.50,
    weight_momentum_short=0.25,
    weight_momentum_long=0.15,
    weight_relative_value=0.10,
    momentum_short_days=60,
)
engine = FactorEngine(config=config)

Custom data provider

import pandas as pd
from factor_score import FactorEngine

class MyProvider:
    def get_history(self, ticker: str, period: str = "1y") -> pd.DataFrame:
        # return a DataFrame with a "Close" column
        ...

engine = FactorEngine(provider=MyProvider())

Contributing

Local development setup

Prerequisites: Python 3.11 or 3.12, and pip.

1. Clone the repo and create a virtual environment:

git clone https://github.com/brainscanstudios/factor-score.git
cd factor-score
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate   # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

2. Install the package in editable mode with dev dependencies:

pip install -e '.[dev]'

This installs pytest, pytest-cov, and the yfinance provider so the full test suite can run.

Running tests

pytest

To see coverage:

pytest --cov=factor_score

Project layout

factor_score/      # library source
  engine.py        # FactorEngine — main entry point
  models.py        # FactorConfig, FactorScore dataclasses
  factors/         # individual factor implementations
  providers/       # DataProvider implementations (yfinance, …)
tests/             # pytest suite

Adding a factor

1. Implement the scoring logic in factor_score/factors/.
2. Add a weight field to FactorConfig in models.py (default to 0.0 so existing configs stay valid).
3. Wire it into FactorEngine.score() in engine.py.
4. Add tests in tests/.

Adding a data provider

Implement the two-method DataProvider protocol (see factor_score/providers/) and pass an instance to FactorEngine(provider=...). No base class required — duck typing is sufficient.
