RV is the NA-tolerant rolling realized variance defined in Section~\ref{sec:methodology}, displayed in square-root (volatility) units in basis points; $\log(\text{RV})$ is computed on the realized variance in raw decimal-return units, so its level is not directly comparable to the bps columns. $\beta_t^{\text{real}} = \text{RCov}(r_i, r_{\text{ES}}) / \text{RVar}(r_{\text{ES}})$. ES beta is 1.000 by construction. $\log(\text{RV})$ is near-Gaussian, validating its use as a regression dependent variable. \end{tablenotes} \end{threeparttable} \end{table} \end{landscape}
