Wonder if you are comparing "stats" with "independent" variables with "stats" with "dependent" variables" ?

examples:
(1)Independent = flip of coin.
(2)Independent = net change in price of stock from one day to another day.
(3)Dependent = speed of wind now vs speed of wind 5 minutes from now.
(4)Dependent = price of stock today vs price of stock tomorrow

The treatment of (1)(2) is very different then (3)(4) in statistical analysis. FACTOID.
