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 NJR 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: November 18, 2022
End date: April 18, 2024

a = 4.3418

b = -0.0004

s = 0.0485

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0004) – 1
= -13.70%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0485) – 1
= 21.41%

November 18, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y782)
= Exp(a + b × X782 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,131 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3418 + -0.0004 × 1,131 + 2 × 0.0485)
= Exp(3.9824)
= $53.64

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y782)
= Exp(a + b × X782 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,131 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3418 + -0.0004 × 1,131 – 2 × 0.0485)
= Exp(3.7884)
= $44.19

April 18, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,135)
= Exp(a + b × X1,135 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,648 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3418 + -0.0004 × 1,648 + 2 × 0.0485)
= Exp(3.7737)
= $43.54

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,135)
= Exp(a + b × X1,135 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,648 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3418 + -0.0004 × 1,648 – 2 × 0.0485)
= Exp(3.5798)
= $35.86
