- The report tracks the performance of 48 representative factors across 12 major styles, including scale, Beta, volatility, value, liquidity, momentum & reversal, technical, profitability, growth, quality, dividend, and consensus expectations. These factors were selected based on their relative performance over a 10-year backtest period[19][20] - Factor data preprocessing includes outlier removal, industry and market capitalization neutralization, and z-score standardization.

Factors are also tested through layered backtesting and regression analysis to evaluate their effectiveness[204][205][206] - Layered backtesting involves sorting stocks by factor scores, dividing them into layers, and observing the cumulative returns of each layer. This method evaluates the linear and non-linear relationships between factors and stock returns[206][207] - Regression analysis controls for industry and market capitalization effects, using a linear model to assess the relationship between factor exposure and stock returns.
