Quantitative Models and Construction 1. Model Name: Diffusion Index Industry Rotation Model - **Model Construction Idea**: This model is based on the principle of price momentum, aiming to capture upward trends in industries through a diffusion index[24][25]. - **Model Construction Process**: The diffusion index is calculated for each industry, reflecting the proportion of stocks within the industry that exhibit upward momentum. The index ranges from 0 to 1, where higher values indicate stronger upward trends. The model selects industries with the highest diffusion index values for rotation. - Formula: Not explicitly provided in the report - **Model Evaluation**: The model has shown mixed performance over the years. It performed well in capturing trends during certain periods (e.g., pre-September 2021) but struggled during market reversals or when trends shifted to mean-reversion patterns[24]. 2. Model Name: GRU Factor Industry Rotation Model - **Model Construction Idea**: This model leverages GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit) deep learning networks to process high-frequency volume and price data, aiming to identify industry rotation opportunities[37]. - **Model Construction Process**: The GRU network is trained on historical minute-level data to predict industry factor rankings. The model then selects industries with the highest predicted factor scores for rotation. - Formula: Not explicitly provided in the report - **Model Evaluation**: The GRU model has demonstrated strong adaptability in short-term scenarios but has underperformed in long-term or extreme market conditions. Its reliance on high-frequency data makes it sensitive to market noise[37]. --- Model Backtesting Results 1.
