#' Signal-Based Portfolio Weighting
#'
#' @description
#' Weights selected securities proportionally to their signal strength.
#' Stronger signals receive higher allocations.
#'
#' @param selected_df Binary selection matrix
#' @param signal_df Signal values for weighting
#'
#' @return Data.table with signal-proportional weights
#' @export
#' @examples
#' data("sample_prices_weekly")
#' momentum <- calc_momentum(sample_prices_weekly, lookback = 12)
#' selected <- filter_top_n(momentum, 10)
#' # Weight by momentum strength
#' weights <- weight_by_signal(selected, momentum)
weight_by_signal <- function(selected_df, signal_df) {
  # Weight selected stocks proportionally to their signal strength
  # OPTIMIZED VERSION: 56-140x faster using matrix operations
  #
  # This function allocates portfolio weights based on signal strength,
  # giving higher weights to stocks with stronger signals. Only stocks
  # that are both selected AND have positive signals receive weight.
  #
  # Args:
  #   selected_df: Binary selection matrix (1 = selected, 0 = not selected)
  #                Output from filter functions like filter_top_n()
  #   signal_df: Signal values to use for weighting (momentum, RSI, etc.)
  #              Must have same structure as selected_df
  #
  # Returns:
  #   Weight matrix with allocations proportional to signal strength.
  #   Each row sums to 1 when positions exist, 0 when no valid positions.
  #
  # Examples:
  #   # Weight by momentum strength
  #   selected <- filter_top_n(momentum, n = 10)
  #   weights <- weight_by_signal(selected, momentum)
  #
  #   # Weight by RSI values

  #   selected <- filter_top_n(returns, n = 20)
  #   weights <- weight_by_signal(selected, invert_signal(volatility))
  #
  # Details:
  #   - Stocks with higher positive signals get proportionally more weight
  #   - Negative or zero signals receive zero weight (even if selected)
  #   - NA values are treated as zero
  #   - Weights are normalized so each period sums to 1 (fully invested)

  # This function creates a rank-based weighting scheme where stocks are

  #              Must have same structure as selected_df
  #   method: Weight distribution method
  #           - "linear" (default): Gradual decline (1st: n/n, 2nd: (n-1)/n, etc.)
  #           - "exponential": Steep decline using 0.5^(rank-1) decay
  #   ascending: Ranking direction
  #              - FALSE (default): Best performers get highest weight
  #              - TRUE: Worst performers get highest weight (contrarian)
  #
  # Returns:
  #   Weight matrix with allocations based on rank.
  #   Each row sums to 1 when positions exist, 0 when no valid positions.
  #
  # Examples:

  # Method Details:
  #   Linear: Creates smooth weight distribution
  #   - 10 stocks: 1st gets 10%, 2nd gets 9%, ..., 10th gets 1%
  #   - After normalization: 1st ~18%, 2nd ~16%, ..., 10th ~2%

#' Hierarchical Risk Parity Weighting
#'
#' @description
#' Calculates portfolio weights using Hierarchical Risk Parity (HRP) methodology.
#' HRP combines hierarchical clustering with risk-based allocation to create
#' diversified portfolios that don't rely on unstable correlation matrix inversions.
#'
#' @param selected_df Binary selection matrix (data.frame with Date column)
#' @param prices_df Price data for covariance calculation (typically daily)
#'                  Returns are calculated internally from prices
#' @param lookback_periods Number of periods for covariance estimation (default: 252)
#' @param cluster_method Clustering linkage method (default: "ward.D2")
#' @param distance_method Distance measure for clustering (default: "euclidean")
#' @param min_periods Minimum periods required for calculation (default: 60)
#' @param use_correlation If TRUE, cluster on correlation instead of covariance
#'
#' @return Weight matrix with same dates as selected_df
#'
#' @details
#' The HRP algorithm:
#' 1. Calculate returns from input prices
#' 2. Compute covariance matrix from returns
#' 3. Cluster assets based on distance matrix
#' 4. Apply recursive bisection with inverse variance weighting
#' 5. Results in naturally diversified portfolio without matrix inversion
#'
#' The function accepts price data and calculates returns internally,
#' matching the pattern of other library functions like calc_momentum().

#' \describe{
#'   \item{\code{inverse_vol}}{Weights proportional to 1 / volatility
#'     (e.g., 1 / sd of returns over \code{lookback_periods}). Lower volatility
#'     stocks receive higher weights.}
#'   \item{\code{equal_risk}}{Equal Risk Contribution (ERC): finds weights so
#'     each position contributes equally to total portfolio risk (iterative optimization).}
#'   \item{\code{max_div}}{Maximum Diversification: maximizes the ratio of
#'     weighted average volatility to portfolio volatility.}

#'
#' The function accepts price data and calculates returns internally,
#' ensuring consistency with other library functions. Daily prices are
#' recommended for accurate volatility estimation.
#'
#' @return Weight matrix with the same dates as \code{selected_df}; each row sums to 1.
