Sep 27, 2012 at 16:09 comment added whuber You're right about the explanation; your reference nailed it. But your situation looks unusual: it appears you have only ten or so independent responses (which lie on a continuous scale, not a discrete one) but you are using multiple explanatory variables that vary over time. This is not a situation contemplated by most regression techniques. More information about what these variables mean and how they are measured might help us identify a good analytical approach.
Sep 27, 2012 at 15:51 comment added Datageek Actually the Y is the price we try to predict, which changes every few months. We have weekly-recorder variables (X) for the corresponding price (Y) that changes every few months. Would logistic regression work in this case when we don't know future price?

Sep 27, 2012 at 15:20 comment added Peter Flom You almost certainly do need some other form of regression. If the Y data are ordinal (which I suspect) then you probably want ordinal logistic regression. One R package that does this is ordinal, but there are others as well
