Barycentric Predictive Advantage Test

Techniqueadvanced

Tests whether a fitted simplex's barycentric coordinates carry genuine mixture information by comparing held-out predictive R^2 of a barycentric combination against the single best individual feature, separately on near-vertex and simplex-interior sample splits, to rule out a tiling artifact.
