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 CHRW 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

Start date: March 1, 2022
End date: May 21, 2024

a = 5.0065

b = -0.0004

s = 0.0642

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0004) – 1
= -12.79%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0642) – 1
= 29.25%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y653)
= Exp(a + b × X653 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 946 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.0065 + -0.0004 × 946 + 2 × 0.0642)
= Exp(4.7801)
= $119.11

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y653)
= Exp(a + b × X653 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 946 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.0065 + -0.0004 × 946 – 2 × 0.0642)
= Exp(4.5235)
= $92.15
