  # stock's indicator value against all other stocks on the same date, enabling
  # relative strength strategies that adapt to market conditions. Unlike absolute
  # thresholds (RSI > 70), relative ranks identify stocks that are strong/weak
  # compared to the current universe.

  #     - "rank": 1 to N ranking, 1 = best
  #     - "z-score": Standard deviations from mean

# filter_within_groups() - Generic grouping-based filtering
# =========================================================
# The ONE function you asked me to build.
# This function filters top/bottom X percentile within ANY grouping variable,
# not just sectors. Can be used with ML clusters, volatility regimes, etc.

filter_within_groups <- function(signal_df, grouping,
                                 percentile = 80,
                                 type = c("top", "bottom")) {
  # Select securities in the top or bottom X percentile within each group
  #
  # This GENERIC function enables group-relative filtering for any grouping
  # variable - sectors, volatility regimes, ML clusters, or custom groups.
  # Unlike global filtering (top 10 overall), this ensures representation
  # from each group, preventing any single group from dominating selection.
  # It's the foundation for adaptive strategies that maintain exposure across
  # different market segments or characteristics.
  #
  # Args:
  #   signal_df: DataFrame with Date column and signal values for each symbol
  #              Can be any indicator: momentum, RSI, quality scores, etc.
  #   grouping: Grouping specification in one of three formats:
  #     - DataFrame with 'Symbol' column and one group column (e.g., sectors)
  #     - Named vector mapping symbols to groups (names = symbols, values = groups)
  #     - Vector of group labels in same order as signal_df columns
  #   percentile: Percentile threshold (0-100). E.g., 80 = top 20% within each group
  #               Note: Small groups may select proportionally more due to rounding
  #   type: Selection direction
  #     - "top": Select highest values within each group (default)
  #     - "bottom": Select lowest values within each group
  #
  # Returns:
  #   DataFrame with same structure as signal_df containing binary selections
  #   1 = selected, 0 = not selected
  #   Selections respect group boundaries - each group treated independently
  #
  # Examples:
  #   # Sector-neutral momentum selection
  #   momentum <- calc_momentum(prices, 12)
  #   selected <- filter_within_groups(momentum, sector_mapping,
  #                                  percentile = 80, type = "top")
  #   weights <- weight_equal(selected)
  #
  #   # Volatility regime-based filtering
  #   vol_regimes <- cut(realized_vol, breaks = 3,
  #                     labels = c("Low", "Med", "High"))
  #   quality_stocks <- filter_within_groups(quality_score, vol_regimes,
  #                                        percentile = 70, type = "top")
  #
  #   # ML cluster-based selection
  #   clusters <- kmeans(factor_matrix, centers = 5)$cluster
  #   cluster_map <- setNames(clusters, colnames(factor_matrix))
  #   selected <- filter_within_groups(composite_score, cluster_map,
  #                                  percentile = 60, type = "top")
  #
  # Note:
  #   With small groups (2-3 stocks), actual selection percentage may exceed
  #   the specified percentile due to the discrete nature of selection.
  #   E.g., top 30% of 3 stocks must select at least 1 stock (33%).
  #   Groups with all NA values are skipped for that time period.
