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 NPK 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: May 19, 2022
End date: May 8, 2024

a = 3.5913

b = 0.0004

s = 0.0426

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0004) – 1
= 17.05%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0426) – 1
= 18.59%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y764)
= Exp(a + b × X764 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,106 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5913 + 0.0004 × 1,106 + 2 × 0.0426)
= Exp(4.1537)
= $63.67

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y764)
= Exp(a + b × X764 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,106 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5913 + 0.0004 × 1,106 – 2 × 0.0426)
= Exp(3.9831)
= $53.68

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5913 + 0.0004 × 1,826 + 2 × 0.0426)
= Exp(4.4642)
= $86.86

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,258)
= Exp(a + b × X1,258 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5913 + 0.0004 × 1,826 – 2 × 0.0426)
= Exp(4.2937)
= $73.24
