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 UAL 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 = 2.7390

b = 0.0017

s = 0.1168

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0017) – 1
= 86.91%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1168) – 1
= 59.55%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y218)
= Exp(a + b × X218 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 316 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7390 + 0.0017 × 316 + 2 × 0.1168)
= Exp(3.5141)
= $33.59

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y218)
= Exp(a + b × X218 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 316 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7390 + 0.0017 × 316 – 2 × 0.1168)
= Exp(3.0469)
= $21.05

= Exp(2.7390 + 0.0017 × 793 + 2 × 0.1168)
= Exp(4.3315)
= $76.06

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y548)
= Exp(a + b × X548 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 793 – 2 × s)
= Exp(2.7390 + 0.0017 × 793 – 2 × 0.1168)
= Exp(3.8643)
