Matlab quant finance trading resources with source code for statistical artbitrage aka stat arb
The Trading Systems and Method book has a while chapter on it (Ch 13) but that would entail another investigative process separately. It looks like pair trading is a big part of this which I already covered.
Here are a bunch I am going to go through so stay tuned:
