Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Time series methods rely on historical data to make future predictions, assuming that patterns and trends observed in the past will continue into the future. Regression methods, on the other hand, typically require some sort of assumption about the relationship between variables, and may not necessarily assume that past patterns will continue unchanged into the future. Quantitative and qualitative methods are broader categories that encompass a variety of different analysis techniques, and do not necessarily have any inherent assumptions about the relationship between past and future observations.
