Has anyone ever used statistical analysis such as regression, correlation,
forecasting, ectc on stock for investment puposes.  Is there any book which
talks about this.

I have searched enough I could not find any book wich uses statistical analysis
for analysisng stocks, mutual funds, etc.  

Why is it not popular?

I would also be interested in software for PC to do statistical analysis.
It should be able to do graphics, forecasting, regression, etc.  prefereably
for windows.

I know metastock does some of this but not real forecasting.  I may be
wrong there.
