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 ALK 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


Primary Trend

Start date: February 16, 2021
End date: November 9, 2022

a = 4.7644

b = -0.0008

s = 0.0698

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0008) – 1
= -25.55%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0698) – 1
= 32.21%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y445)
= Exp(a + b × X445 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 648 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7644 + -0.0008 × 648 + 2 × 0.0698)
= Exp(4.3801)
= $79.85

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y445)
= Exp(a + b × X445 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 648 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7644 + -0.0008 × 648 – 2 × 0.0698)
= Exp(4.1009)
= $60.40

November 9, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y883)
= Exp(a + b × X883 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,279 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7644 + -0.0008 × 1,279 + 2 × 0.0698)
= Exp(3.8699)
= $47.94

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y883)
= Exp(a + b × X883 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,279 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.7644 + -0.0008 × 1,279 – 2 × 0.0698)
= Exp(3.5908)
= $36.26

a = 4.3687

b = -0.0004

s = 0.1006

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0004) – 1
