+PER-ASSET MODEL SPECIALIZATION: XAU Simplification Test
+
+The current best model (metric=0.928795) uses a UNIFIED 2-regime AR(1) + hybrid 
+jump specification for ALL assets. However, XAU (gold) has fundamentally different
+microstructure than crypto assets:
+- Lighter tails (near-Gaussian vs heavy-tailed crypto)
+- Lower volatility (~0.0002 vs ~0.0004-0.0005 for crypto)
+- Different trading dynamics (traditional asset vs 24/7 crypto)
+
+This experiment tests per-asset model specialization:
+- XAU: Pure 2-regime AR(1) WITHOUT jumps (simpler, less estimation noise)
+- BTC/ETH/SOL: Full 2-regime AR(1) + hybrid jumps (captures heavy tails)
+
+RATIONALE:
+- XAU's jump parameters are estimated from sparse events (98.5% threshold)
+- With λ≈0.005, we get ~30 jumps per 30-day window - high estimation variance
+- Gold's price dynamics may not require explicit jump modeling
+- Simpler model for XAU reduces overfitting while preserving key AR(1) structure
+
+HYPOTHESIS: XAU without jumps will perform equivalently or better because
+the jump component adds estimation noise without predictive benefit for
+near-Gaussian gold returns. Crypto assets retain jumps for tail coverage.

+# Experiment: exp_per_asset_model_specialization_xau_simplification
+"""
+PER-ASSET MODEL SPECIALIZATION: XAU Simplification Test
+
+The current best model (metric=0.928795) uses a UNIFIED 2-regime AR(1) + hybrid 
+jump specification for ALL assets. However, XAU (gold) has fundamentally different
+microstructure than crypto assets:
+- Lighter tails (near-Gaussian vs heavy-tailed crypto)
+- Lower volatility (~0.0002 vs ~0.0004-0.0005 for crypto)
+- Different trading dynamics (traditional asset vs 24/7 crypto)
+
+This experiment tests per-asset model specialization:
+- XAU: Pure 2-regime AR(1) WITHOUT jumps (simpler, less estimation noise)
+- BTC/ETH/SOL: Full 2-regime AR(1) + hybrid jumps (captures heavy tails)
+
+RATIONALE:
+- XAU's jump parameters are estimated from sparse events (98.5% threshold)
+- With λ≈0.005, we get ~30 jumps per 30-day window - high estimation variance
+- Gold's price dynamics may not require explicit jump modeling
+- Simpler model for XAU reduces overfitting while preserving key AR(1) structure
+
+HYPOTHESIS: XAU without jumps will perform equivalently or better because
+the jump component adds estimation noise without predictive benefit for
+near-Gaussian gold returns. Crypto assets retain jumps for tail coverage.
