Cameron Jones

Hi all

I would really appreciate some help, cause I really need some regression
analysis help.

I have a csv file with info like this

Date Price
11-02-2003 1000
11-03-2003 1200
11-04-2003 1400
11-04-2003 2000
11-05-2003 1500
11-06-2003 2400
11-07-2003 2000

I need to calculate the linear regrssion of the price into a straight line
and then at each date calculate the distance of the real price compared to
the linear regression line value.(i was told it must be the 'least sum
squared method ' whatever that is)
I am really stuck , my brain is overwhelmed :O(
Hope somebody can help me.
Cameron
