"""Simplified factor analysis.
"""Market beta and momentum regression.

NOTE: This is NOT a Fama-French factor model. It performs a simple
two-factor regression (market excess return + momentum proxy).
For true multi-factor analysis, use SMB/HML factor data.

Decomposes strategy returns into:
- Market factor (beta vs benchmark)
- Momentum proxy (lag-5 return autocorrelation, not a true UMD factor)
- Alpha (residual vs market)

Note: This function does **not** implement the true Fama-French 3-factor
model (Fama & French, 1993), which requires SMB and HML factor data.
The ``momentum_correlation`` field is a return autocorrelation, not a
genuine momentum factor exposure.

.. note::
Previously exported as ``fama_french_analysis`` (deprecated alias
retained for backward compatibility).
