Linear Regression Model

Model equation:
Yi = α + β × Xi + εi

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Yi) = Exp(a + b × Xi + 2 × s)

Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Yi) = Exp(a + b × Xi – 2 × s)

where:

i - observation number
Yi - natural logarithm of ELV price
Xi - time index, 1 day interval
σ - standard deviation of εi
a - estimator of α
b - estimator of β
s - estimator of σ
Exp() - calculates the exponent of e

a = 6.2166

b = 0.0000

s = 0.0481

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
= -1.55%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0481) – 1
= 21.23%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y649)
= Exp(a + b × X649 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 939 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.2166 + 0.0000 × 939 + 2 × 0.0481)
= Exp(6.2727)
= $529.90

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y649)
= Exp(a + b × X649 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 939 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.2166 + 0.0000 × 939 – 2 × 0.0481)
= Exp(6.0802)
= $437.10
