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 SSTK 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 = 0.8045
b = 0.0013
s = 0.0794
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0013) – 1
= 62.91%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0794) – 1
= 37.38%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,012)
= Exp(a + b × X1,012 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,473 + 2 × s)
= Exp(0.8045 + 0.0013 × 1,473 + 2 × 0.0794)
= Exp(2.9327)
= $18.78
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,012)
= Exp(a + b × X1,012 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,473 – 2 × s)
= Exp(0.8045 + 0.0013 × 1,473 – 2 × 0.0794)
= Exp(2.6151)
= $13.67
