Main Functions
Logarithmic Returns & Historical Data

Calculates logarithmic returns from closing prices.
Stores these returns in a dynamic array with a configurable maximum size.
Approximation of the Inverse Error Function

Uses an approximation of the erfinv function to calculate z-scores for given confidence levels.
Basic Statistics

Mean: Calculates the average of the data in the array.
Standard Deviation: Measures the dispersion of returns.
Median: Provides a more robust measure of central tendency for skewed distributions.
Z-Score: Converts a confidence level into a standard deviation multiplier.
Empirical vs. Statistical Projection
Empirical Projection

Based on the median of cumulative returns for each projected period.
Applies an adjustable confidence filter to exclude extreme values.
Statistical Projection

Relies on the mean and standard deviation of historical returns.
Incorporates a standard deviation multiplier for confidence-adjusted projections.
PolyLines (Graphs)
Generates projections visually through polylines:

Statistical Polyline (Blue): Based on traditional statistical methods.
Empirical Polyline (Orange): Derived from empirical data analysis.
Projection Customization
Maximum Data Size: Configurable limit for the historical data array (max_array_size).
Confidence Level: Adjustable by the user (conf_lvl), affects the width of the confidence bands.
Projection Length: Configurable number of projected periods (length_projection).
Key Steps
Capture logarithmic returns and update the historical data array.
Calculate basic statistics (mean, median, standard deviation).
Perform projections:
Empirical: Based on the median of cumulative returns.
Statistical: Based on the mean and standard deviation.
Visualization:
Compare statistical and empirical projections using polylines.
Utility
This script allows users to compare:

Traditional Statistical Projections: Based on mathematical properties of historical returns.
Empirical Projections: Relying on direct historical observations.
Divergence or convergence of these lines also highlights the presence of skewness or kurtosis in the return distribution.



Ideal for traders and financial analysts looking to assess an asset’s potential future performance using combined statistical and empirical approaches.
