Grouping Columns and performing Stats on those columns

Question

Hey guys,

I have 4 variables against one response I want to test. I have some data already and will be doing some more data collection soon.

Currently my table is organized as follows

Var 1       Var 2       Var 3        Var 4         Res 1        Res 2       Res 3      Res 4     Res 5

Res 1 - Res 5 are my response values every minute. I would like to perform stats on the columns Res 1 - Res 5 with the given set of process variables, but I cannot figure out a way to do that.

Any help?

Just a guess but if the responses are not sequence dependent, then you could stack the responses and do a Standard Least Squares Fit Model with the variables as the effects and a single response variable.  If sequence is important you could stack responses and model by time series.
