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 ODFL 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 = 4.5968

b = 0.0004

s = 0.1130

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0004) – 1
= 15.52%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1130) – 1
= 57.15%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y409)
= Exp(a + b × X409 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 592 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5968 + 0.0004 × 592 + 2 × 0.1130)
= Exp(5.0567)
= $157.08

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y409)
= Exp(a + b × X409 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 592 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.5968 + 0.0004 × 592 – 2 × 0.1130)
= Exp(4.6047)
= $99.96
