Description

🌟 Feature Description

Is it possible to provide cross-sectional rank support (or other cross-sectional operators) in Operator module, although there is one in the Processor module?

Motivation

Many important indicators requires cross-sectional view, while it is only available in Processor module in the qlib framework.

It would be much convenient to have it in the Operator module, because you usually cannot mix processors with other operators.

Research direction

Start by comparing the existing cross-sectional support in the Processor module with the Operator module, including how operators are represented and evaluated. Define the intended cross-sectional behavior and acceptance tests first; done means the Operator module supports the requested rank operation without preventing it from being combined with other operators.
