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 PPC 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

Start date: September 18, 2023
End date: December 11, 2024

a = 0.6045

b = 0.0018

s = 0.0445

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0018) – 1
= 95.52%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0445) – 1
= 19.48%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y946)
= Exp(a + b × X946 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,376 + 2 × s)
= Exp(0.6045 + 0.0018 × 1,376 + 2 × 0.0445)
= Exp(3.2212)
= $25.06

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y946)
= Exp(a + b × X946 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,376 – 2 × s)
= Exp(0.6045 + 0.0018 × 1,376 – 2 × 0.0445)
= Exp(3.0432)
= $20.97
