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 CPRT 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: August 29, 2022
End date: May 16, 2024

a = 1.9431

b = 0.0012

s = 0.0563

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0012) – 1
= 53.20%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0563) – 1
= 25.23%

August 29, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y826)
= Exp(a + b × X826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,197 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.9431 + 0.0012 × 1,197 + 2 × 0.0563)
= Exp(3.4546)
= $31.65

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y826)
= Exp(a + b × X826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,197 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.9431 + 0.0012 × 1,197 – 2 × 0.0563)
= Exp(3.2296)
= $25.27

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,823 + 2 × s)
= Exp(1.9431 + 0.0012 × 1,823 + 2 × 0.0563)
= Exp(4.1862)
= $65.77

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
= Exp(a + b × X1,257 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,823 – 2 × s)
= Exp(1.9431 + 0.0012 × 1,823 – 2 × 0.0563)
= Exp(3.9612)
= $52.52
