Hello Ravi,

Thank you for your question. Those tools are so general that they can be applied to almost any data series. I used regression analysis in many ways. From estimating future revenues, to discriminating what portion of a company's income statement was fixed costs (the intercept) vs. variable costs (the slope). The answer also depends on what type of investor you are: value, growth, quant, options, etc. There is a well known primer for applying statistical analysis to finance by Simon Benninga entitled, "Financial Modeling." It may be worth the effort to find a copy.

Yours, in service,

Jason
