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

End date: April 18, 2024
a = 4.3835
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%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y837)
= Exp(a + b × X837 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,211 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3835 + -0.0004 × 1,211 + 2 × 0.0485)
= Exp(3.9918)
= $54.15
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y837)
= Exp(a + b × X837 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,211 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3835 + -0.0004 × 1,211 – 2 × 0.0485)
= Exp(3.7978)
= $44.60

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,190)
= Exp(a + b × X1,190 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,728 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3835 + -0.0004 × 1,728 + 2 × 0.0485)
= Exp(3.7832)
= $43.96
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,190)
= Exp(a + b × X1,190 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,728 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.3835 + -0.0004 × 1,728 – 2 × 0.0485)
= Exp(3.5892)
