1) No 2) Yes, definitely I suspect that the most difficult problem in your case is formalising the statistical approach and building a solid statistical model for your data. For example: is it possible, at least in principle, that stream A can be affected by what happened in stream B _in the past_? In which way? Once you have a suitable statistical model, writing the code (in C or possibly in hansl) to implement estimation and forecasting doesn't seem so hard, and (lib)gretl should definitely be up to the job.
