| 1. A method for evaluating an asset, said method comprising:
using at least one computer to:
(a) process historical data for value of an asset and historical data values for plural exogenous variables to obtain a formula
for calculating a measure of a tendency of the value of the asset to change as a result of changes in the data values for
the exogenous variables, wherein said formula is a function of the exogenous variables;
(b) input projected data values for the exogenous variables; and
(c) estimate a measure of the tendency of the value of the asset to change based on a change in at least one of the exogenous
variables using the formula obtained in step (a) and the projected data values input in step (b),
wherein the asset can be purchased by an owner.
