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 LPX 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 = 4.0668

b = 0.0000

s = 0.1033

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
= 1.29%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1033) – 1
= 51.19%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y409)
= Exp(a + b × X409 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 594 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0668 + 0.0000 × 594 + 2 × 0.1033)
= Exp(4.2943)
= $73.28

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y409)
= Exp(a + b × X409 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 594 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0668 + 0.0000 × 594 – 2 × 0.1033)
= Exp(3.8809)
= $48.47

= Exp(4.3322)
= $76.11

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,153)
= Exp(a + b × X1,153 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,676 – 2 × s)
