It seems that you are trying to find out if there was an increase/decrease in accidents.
How many time points do you have?
Are you then saying that mileage, weather, insurance company, etc influence the amount of business which in turn explains the number of accidents?
How are you defining "business"?

Dear All,

I am doing research in Car Sales and finding factors which are influencing
business that why there was a decrease in accidents. We might know mileage,
weather, insurance company and so on would be factors influencing business.

I have dataset from insurance company of different types, Categorical,
numerical, binary etc.

I have to find that weather, mileage are the main factors influencing
business? I know the methodology but I want to know that what kind of
variables I provide to make correlation and cov matrix?
