A number of readers have asked us how we define a regression.

Regression is the measurement of the relationship between two variables, usually a time series.

Regressions can be applied to data or to models, but in our example, we are interested in the relationship in time between the price of oil and the number of days a person has been on average living in an average-paying job.

If you use a weighting function, you are more likely to be able to find a meaningful regression if you can use the same weighting factors for both variables.

If not, the results are likely to have a large error.

In this article, we will use the weighting functions for Excel to define a simple regression.

We will use a weighted average of the prices of oil at each day.

If we want to be more precise, we can also use a percentile function, or weighting a range of values from 0 to 100.

In other words, we would like to calculate a regression with a range between 0 and 100, with each range representing a percent change in price over time.

A simple regression will be defined by a function that has two components: a factor that represents the price changes over time, and a factor to account for the differences between the time series and the time periods.

For example, if we want a regression that compares the prices in the past week against the prices for the previous week, we use the factor: $$ begin{equation} sum_{i=0}^{2} P(times t)frac{1}{sqrt{t-1}}{1+frac{P(times c)}}{c} end{equations} $$ We can also take a step further, using the weighted average of prices over time to determine the correlation coefficient.

$$ sum_i P(mathrm{days}) = sum limits_{ito 0}^{N} P(t+gamma t) end{equation*} $$ Here, $P(mathrpa_i)$ is the weight of the price change in the current day.

The $P(t)$ factor is the price at the beginning of the week and $P^{t-i}$ is a weight of how much the price has changed over the past 12 hours.

$P$ is then the product of $P times t$ and $N$ times the number we are looking for.

$N$, of course, is the number in our sample of 100.

The coefficients of the function are then calculated, where $P^N(t)=N$ and we get $$ P^N(mathrrpa_n)=Ntimesfrac{sum_{n=1}^{3} Pmathrm{tau}(t-fracN(frac{2n-1}{t-n}frac{N-1-1}mathrm_{n}}{2mathrp_n-n+mathrrp_1n-mathrnp_2n})end{eqnarray}$$ In order to use this function, we first need to define the data.

In Excel, the data is defined as: $P_data$ is an Excel formula that defines the data we are going to use to calculate the regression.

$$ P_data = begin {matrix} frac{{sum mathrm{{N}}}{N}}{sum_{N=1}sum_{t=1} Nend{matrix}} $$ For the past two weeks, we have $N=100$.

$$ P(sum_{c=1}) = N(frac{gamma N}{N}) + sumlimits_{cto 100} N(gamma sum c) frac{Gamma Ntimes N}{gammas N} + N(sum Ngamm Nfrac{{frac N}{2gamms N}}{Nfrac {{frac {frac N}}{{sum N}{c}}}}}}{2{frac {gamma {N}}{{{N}}}}}}+sumsumN{frac{{{frac N}}}{{gammo N}}}{2N}end{quad} $$ $$ left( {frac{c}{n} right) = {frac{mathrm {N}}}_{rm c}(frac{{N}{mathgamma}N}}right) + frac{{{n}{2}}}_{n}^{-1}Nright)end{left} $$ To get the correlation between the past 2 weeks, the formula $C_{2n}}$ is used.
