o The index was added as an additional independent variable to the respective base prediction model
* Rolling 24-month regression (least squares fit) to get the weights of the terms in the equations using data from 2006-2007. Then using the weights computed predicted values for 2008 and then determine the mean absolute error.

For Indian NSE BSE market
I think companies here just try to make money instead of providing investors with better services.It is my own view.Because till now we have hardly seen any specific website or software providing free and quality solutions to indian investors.
Though there are some stock screeners for indian market also you can give them a try but they are far behind the msn or google or yahoo type of screeners.
