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 ORCL 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 = 2.7083

b = 0.0013

s = 0.0722

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0013) – 1
= 59.61%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0722) – 1
= 33.50%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y762)
= Exp(a + b × X762 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,102 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7083 + 0.0013 × 1,102 + 2 × 0.0722)
= Exp(4.2644)
= $71.12

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y762)
= Exp(a + b × X762 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,102 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7083 + 0.0013 × 1,102 – 2 × 0.0722)
= Exp(3.9755)
= $53.27

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,108)
= Exp(a + b × X1,108 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,606 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7083 + 0.0013 × 1,606 + 2 × 0.0722)
= Exp(4.9100)
= $135.65

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,108)
= Exp(a + b × X1,108 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,606 – 2 × s)
