Hi Marcelo,
LEAP doesn't have any built-in functionality for creating regression analyses. Rather, it is the place where you would put in a function that you have created as a result of having done a regression analysis. Excel is a perfectly good tool for doing linear or log-linear regressions, or you may want to use a more sophisticated stats programs such as Matlab, Mathematica or "R". Although I don't use it myself, many of my colleagues are very keen on R, which is very flexible and is also free and open source.
Once you have created the regression and finalized the functional form you want to use, you can enter an expression in LEAP that projects a dependent variable (e.g. energy use) based on references to independent variables in LEAP (e.g. GDP, income, population), as well as any parameters you have calculated in your regression. Typically you can store the independent variables under the "Key Assumptions" branches area in LEAP. Take a look at the Freedonia data set to see how you can write expressions that refer to the values in other variables.
At some point in the future, we might add more capabilities to LEAP so it can create its own regressions, but this is not a priority right now since there are so many other good tools that do that type of thing.
Hope this helps!
