I am not sure to have correctly understood what you want to achieve. Am 
I right in assuming you want to do some regression on time series? If 
so, the following article should shed some light on the potential 
pitfalls when using regular regressions and why some special methods 
smut be used. See "Time Series Regression" at

http://www.csulb.edu/~msaintg/ppa696/696regs.htm#TIME%20SERIES%20REGRESSION

Moreover, the package _Time Series_, "A Fully Integrated Environment for 
Time-Dependent Data Analysis", might be well suited for your needs. See

http://www.wolfram.com/products/applications/timeseries/

Finally, the following notebook might be of some help: see "Time Series 
Functions and Examples", freely available at

http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/MathSource/5079/

Hope this helps (and that I am not off topic),
Jean-Marc
