Bathymark treats the statistic as one control in a wider validation packet, not as a universal quality score.
The paper introduces a corrected performance statistic intended to distinguish evidence from selection-driven inflation.
This claim record depends on a reported relationship or method, not a single headline number. No summary metric is manufactured.
A Sharpe-ratio adjustment for selection bias, repeated testing, skewness, and kurtosis.
Observed Sharpe ratio, number and dependence of trials, and non-normal return moments.
A valid calculation needs the trial count or defensible trial-family estimate plus the complete return series.
