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 MATX 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: October 31, 2024
End date: October 30, 2025

a = 6.9915

b = -0.0013

s = 0.0678

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0013) – 1
= -38.82%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0678) – 1
= 31.15%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,005)
= Exp(a + b × X1,005 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,459 + 2 × s)
= Exp(6.9915 + -0.0013 × 1,459 + 2 × 0.0678)
= Exp(5.1627)
= $174.63

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,005)
= Exp(a + b × X1,005 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,459 – 2 × s)
= Exp(6.9915 + -0.0013 × 1,459 – 2 × 0.0678)
= Exp(4.8915)
= $133.16

= Exp(4.6726)
= $106.98

Bottom border of price channel:
