As to approach I need to use, it is estimation of CAPM models by each year (simple linear correlation of particular stock (var#) with index) and to test them on following year returns. The task could be separated into 2 parts - first one estimating CAPM. So that for each year i need to regress each var on index, then to save the regression results somehow to be useful for further analysis.
