No, the rating and the outlook are both explanatory/
independent/predictor/right-hand-side/x-variables.
The characteristic (whatever that may be) is your
explained/dependent/left-hand-side/y-variable. So
the type of regression depends on the type of
firm characteristic you want to investigate.
Hope this helps,
