I‘m sorry but this may come across as condescending, but if you are a financial analysis, isn’t doing statistics a part of your job. And doesn’t your expertise involve knowing which kinds of statistical analysis are available to tackle a given problem? It just seems weird to me that you would opt to not use your expertise and instead use a generalized model which is both more expensive and has poorer results as traditional models.
