**Data Analysis of Stock Prices using SAS**
**Summary:**
I need a SAS program which will calculate basic linear regression statistics from a dataset of stock prices. The program must be very clear (i.e. understandable to a new SAS user like me) and run unmodified on SAS for Windows. I will provide a small sample dataset, but the program must be usable on a much larger dataset. Ideally the programmer/analyst will have some experience in dealing with financial data and will be able to check the input and output for errors.
Please see attachment for details.
