- Well, the question is in the subject. How DO you find
- the correlation coefficient of data points in excel or
- is the spreadsheet's statistical capabilities limited
- to just standard deviation and mean?
-
- Also, is there a way to find roe? Roe is the covariance
- divided by the product of the standard deviations (I think).
-
- These statistical functions are needed to correlate
- the returns for a serious of data points collected from
- the Wall St. Journal.
-
- Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

- Jae
