# Factor Research Framework
## Purpose
Systematically evaluates the predictive power of single or multiple factors. Uses IC/IR statistical tests and quantile backtests to determine whether a factor has stock-selection power, and to guide factor screening and combination.
Applicable scenarios:
- Single-factor validity testing (momentum, value, quality, volatility, and more)
- Determining weights for multi-factor combination
- Factor decay analysis (IC changes across different holding periods)
- Comparing factor differences across industries and markets
