### Generate Bayesian Tear Sheet with Pyfolio

Source: https://github.com/quantopian/pyfolio/blob/master/docs/notebooks/fama_french_benchmark.ipynb

This code generates a comprehensive Bayesian tear sheet for the stock returns using pyfolio. It defines an out-of-sample period and then calls `create_bayesian_tear_sheet`, providing the stock returns, the start date for live analysis, and the pre-calculated rolling Fama-French betas as a benchmark. This function leverages `pymc3` for its backend, producing extensive graphical output.

```python
# Suppose the last 2 months were our out-of-sample period
out_of_sample = stock_rets.index[-60]

# Use pyfolio to run the bayesian tear sheet.
# The bayesian tear sheet's back end makes heavy use of pymc3, so there will be
# a lot of graphical output before the actual tear sheet
pf.tears.create_bayesian_tear_sheet(stock_rets, live_start_date=out_of_sample, benchmark_rets=rolling_beta)
```

```python
pf.round_trips.print_round_trip_stats(rts)
```

--------------------------------

### Load sample financial data from gzipped CSV files

Source: https://github.com/quantopian/pyfolio/blob/master/docs/notebooks/round_trip_tear_sheet_example.ipynb

This code loads sample financial data (transactions, positions, and returns) from gzipped CSV files into pandas DataFrames. The data is parsed with the first column as the index and dates are parsed correctly. This prepares the necessary inputs for pyfolio's round trip analysis.

```Python
transactions = pd.read_csv(gzip.open('../tests/test_data/test_txn.csv.gz'),
                    index_col=0, parse_dates=True)
positions = pd.read_csv(gzip.open('../tests/test_data/test_pos.csv.gz'),

### Generate Pyfolio round trip tear sheet

Source: https://github.com/quantopian/pyfolio/blob/master/docs/notebooks/round_trip_tear_sheet_example.ipynb

This code calls the `create_round_trip_tear_sheet` function from pyfolio, passing in the loaded returns, positions, and transactions data. It optionally includes the `sector_mappings` to enhance the analysis with sector-wise profitability. This is the primary function for generating the comprehensive round trip tear sheet.

```

--------------------------------

### Run Bayesian Tear Sheet with Out-of-Sample Period

Source: https://github.com/quantopian/pyfolio/blob/master/pyfolio/examples/fama_french_benchmark.ipynb

Executes pyfolio's Bayesian tear sheet analysis for the stock returns, specifying an out-of-sample period. The 'live_start_date' parameter marks the beginning of the out-of-sample period, and 'benchmark_rets' is provided by the pre-computed rolling betas. This analysis leverages 'pymc3' for its backend, producing comprehensive statistical outputs.

```python
out_of_sample = stock_rets.index[-60]

# Use pyfolio to run the bayesian tear sheet.
# The bayesian tear sheet's back end makes heavy use of pymc3, so there will be
# a lot of graphical output before the actual tear sheet
pf.tears.create_bayesian_tear_sheet(stock_rets, live_start_date=out_of_sample, benchmark_rets=rolling_beta)
```

--------------------------------

### Plot Rolling Fama-French Betas with Pyfolio

Source: https://github.com/quantopian/pyfolio/blob/master/docs/notebooks/fama_french_benchmark.ipynb

This code generates a plot of the rolling betas to the Fama-French factors directly from the stock returns. It utilizes pyfolio's `plot_rolling_fama_french` function, which internally computes and visualizes the betas. A matplotlib figure and axes are created to control the plot's size and destination.

```python
# With just the stock returns, we can plot the rolling betas to the Fama-French factors.
# No need to actually compute the rolling betas; pyfolio does that for us!
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=[14, 6])
pf.plotting.plot_rolling_fama_french(stock_rets, ax=ax)
```

--------------------------------

### Compute and Clean Rolling Fama-French Betas

Source: https://github.com/quantopian/pyfolio/blob/master/pyfolio/examples/fama_french_benchmark.ipynb

Calculates the rolling Fama-French betas for the stock returns using pyfolio's time series functions. The resulting DataFrame is then cleaned by dropping initial NaN values, which occur due to the trailing window calculation (defaulting to 6 months).

```python
rolling_beta = pf.timeseries.rolling_fama_french(stock_rets)

# pf.timeseries.rolling_beta defaults to a 6-month trailing window.
# Thus, the first 6 months' data will be NaNs, which we must drop
rolling_beta.dropna(inplace=True)
```

--------------------------------

### Manually Extract Round Trip Trades

Source: https://github.com/quantopian/pyfolio/blob/master/pyfolio/examples/round_trip_tear_sheet_example.ipynb

Demonstrates how to manually extract the underlying round trip trade data using `pf.round_trips.extract_round_trips`. This function reconstructs the portfolio based on transactions and portfolio value to identify and categorize individual round trip trades.

```python
rts = pf.round_trips.extract_round_trips(transactions, 
                                         portfolio_value=positions.sum(axis='columns') / (returns + 1))
```

--------------------------------

### Generate Pyfolio Round Trip Tear Sheet

Source: https://github.com/quantopian/pyfolio/blob/master/pyfolio/examples/round_trip_tear_sheet_example.ipynb

Calls the `create_round_trip_tear_sheet` function from pyfolio to generate a comprehensive analysis of round trip trades. It takes the loaded returns, positions, and transactions data, along with the optional sector mappings, to produce detailed performance metrics and visualizations.

```python
pf.create_round_trip_tear_sheet(returns, positions, transactions, sector_mappings=sect_map)
```

--------------------------------

### Define optional sector mapping for securities

Source: https://github.com/quantopian/pyfolio/blob/master/docs/notebooks/round_trip_tear_sheet_example.ipynb

This snippet defines an optional dictionary `sect_map` that maps security tickers to their respective sectors. Providing this mapping allows pyfolio to aggregate and display profitability by sector in the round trip analysis, offering deeper insights into performance attribution.

```Python
sect_map = {'COST': 'Consumer Goods', 'INTC':'Technology', 'CERN':'Healthcare', 'GPS':'Technology',
            'MMM': 'Construction', 'DELL': 'Technology', 'AMD':'Technology'}
```

```Python
rts.head()
```

--------------------------------

### Extract raw round trip trade data

Source: https://github.com/quantopian/pyfolio/blob/master/docs/notebooks/round_trip_tear_sheet_example.ipynb

This snippet demonstrates how to manually extract raw round trip trade data using `pf.round_trips.extract_round_trips`. It takes transactions and calculated portfolio value as inputs. This function performs the underlying portfolio reconstruction to identify individual round trips before aggregation.

```Python
rts = pf.round_trips.extract_round_trips(transactions, 
                                         portfolio_value=positions.sum(axis='columns') / (returns + 1))
```

--------------------------------

### Calculate and Clean Rolling Fama-French Betas

Source: https://github.com/quantopian/pyfolio/blob/master/docs/notebooks/fama_french_benchmark.ipynb

This snippet explicitly calculates the rolling Fama-French betas from the stock returns using `pf.timeseries.rolling_fama_french`. Since the function uses a trailing window (defaulting to 6 months), the initial period will contain NaN values. These NaNs are then removed in-place to prepare the data for further analysis, such as the Bayesian tear sheet.

```python
# However, for the bayesian tear sheet, we will actually need the rolling betas,
# so use pyfolio to get them
rolling_beta = pf.timeseries.rolling_fama_french(stock_rets)

# pf.timeseries.rolling_beta defaults to a 6-month trailing window.
# Thus, the first 6 months' data will be NaNs, which we must drop
rolling_beta.dropna(inplace=True)
```

--------------------------------

### Create virtual environment for pyfolio development

Source: https://github.com/quantopian/pyfolio/blob/master/README.md

--------------------------------

### Configure Matplotlib Backend for OSX

Source: https://github.com/quantopian/pyfolio/blob/master/docs/index.md

For OSX users with a non-framework Python build, this command sets the Matplotlib backend to 'TkAgg'. This resolves potential rendering issues by writing the configuration directly to the user's matplotlibrc file, ensuring plots display correctly.

```bash
echo "backend: TkAgg" > ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc
```
